Hi,

Many java examples speak about Label(x,y) : in Eclipse book Ch07_01 or http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-DND/DND-in-SWT.html#_Drag_Source dragSource l4 .
I'm under linux.
But each time Eclipse 3.5 says there is no such 2 arguments constructor : The constructor Label(Shell, int) is undefined.

So what the hell goes wrong? have the authors ever tested their code , or dis the swt specification change, or what else?

Hi

My guess is that your import is not org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label.
There are other frameworks providing classes named 'Label' and that
can be confusing. One example is AWT.

I suggest using type filters to filter out any AWT, Swing, ... classes
in SWT projects.
