I just realized a few days ago that I'm still using the swt.jar from 3.02,
from \eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.0.2\ws\win32. There isn't a
similarly named folder for 3.1.1, and there's no swt.jar anywhere in the
entire eclipse directory. Also, I don't seem to have the runtime.jar. Have
I somehow messed up my eclipse installation?

Matt,

Eclipse in version 3.1 has changed its build process so that entire
plug-ins are bundled into a single jar file. With the case of SWT, you
can either unzip the SWT plug-in's jar and find the swt.jar within it,
or for a more easy solution, download the standalone SWT zip from 3.1's
download page.

I'm not sure about runtime - all of its classes are most likely placed
within the plug-in jar directly so that's likely going to be trickier to
extract a stand alone runtime.jar.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff

In 3.1 there is no longer a folder for the swt plugin. Instead there is jar
that contains the swt.jar. Look for
org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.1.1.jar in the plugins folder.

If you are building a standalone SWT application, it would be easier to get
the swt jar and dlls from the SWT Binary and Source download:

The win32 version of the jar is different from the mac version. Doesn't
this tie me to windows? Is there an "all platforms" jar?

The swt implementation code is platform specific - there is no such thing as
an all platforms swt jar. You must obtain teh swt.jar and dll's for the
platform you are running on.

The API is the same across all platforms - just the implementation is
different.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of java?

Is there a way to modify the classpath at runtime? Then I could write a
"loader" app that would detect the platform, include the proper jar file,
then run the actual application.
