Perhaps I'm doing something completely wrong here but the SWT palette
doesn't show up and I see no references to SWT anywhere.

From what I've read, it should be there in this release, correct?

-answering my own post - edit...

I Did try choosing the SWT application style when creating a new visual
class, I still have no SWT menu after doing so...what gives?

I use Gentoo Linux/GTK, eclipse 3.0.1, VE 1.0

this option isn't in the project-wizards.
create a simple java-project.
then call the visual-class wizard (new visual class...)
here you can choose to create a swt application.

Did you read my post before yours? Just to be sure I tried this again w/
an entirely new test project, I get no SWT palette, even when I specify
SWT->Application as a style in the New Visual Class menu.

I made sure to add the necessary external jars for SWT (there are 3 for
linux/gtk)

Thanks!

Hi zambizzi,

>>>Perhaps I'm doing something completely wrong here but the SWT palette
>>>doesn't show up and I see no references to SWT anywhere.

Can you try another way to add the SWT runtime to your project, this
time opening the Java build path, switching to the Libraries page, and
using "Add Library". Then select "Standard Widget Toolkit" from the
list, press Next and Finish. Is there anything suspcious written to
the .log file ?

Best regards,

Joe Winchester

That (sort of) worked, at least the SWT menus show up now, however, my
widgets aren't being displayed correctly. I can't create a shell or
anything that resembles an application. When I drag widgets onto the
visual area they're just icons with text beneath them.

I'm new to Eclipse and *very* new to VE so I have no clue what I'm doing
wrong here.

Is there a coherent tutorial out there? The couple that I found on
eclipse.org are far too vague and aren't helping at all.

For example:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os- ecvisual/

When I click and drag a shell widget onto the visual builder area all I
see is a crappy little icon that says "sShell" underneath it.....not a
visual representation of a shell window as expected.

Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Nevermind, disregard that last post - the little shell window was hiding
down in the corder of my screen. I clicked it and the shell window
appeared in the designer area and now it does everytime I create a class.

Because it was hiding in minimized state down in the corner I couldn't
find it to add widgets to it.

All is good now, I love it!

Thanks for your help!!!
