I don't see a 'FileChooser' listed for SWT or Swing. Is that functionality
not supported by eclipse?

Thanks!
Brenda

Hi Brenda,

javax.swing.JFileChooser isn't on the palette but you can still use it
with the VE. For any class that isn't on the palette use "Choose Bean"
which is the 3rd option on the palette (and also on the toolbar) and
just choose the class by name.

For SWT there is a class org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog. We don't
support this with the VE however, although looking at why it wouldn't be
hard to - we just need rules to cope with the may it is constructed and
then we can allow it to be dropped. Please open a bugzilla feature
request for us to do this.

Best regards,

Joe Winchester
