I have use VE to generate an SWT Shell application and I've been running it
as a Java Bean. I want to modify this application so that it will:

- Run from a main method
- Rus as a Java Bean
- Still be editable using Visual Editor

Here is a sample empty SWT Shell application below, how do I modify this to
achieve my goals?

public class TestShell {
private static Shell sShell = null;
/**
* This method initializes sShell
*/
private void createSShell() {
sShell = new Shell();
sShell.setText("Shell");
sShell.setSize(new Point(300, 200));
sShell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
}
}

Create another new Visual Class using the SWT Shell as the class type.
Choose the option to generate the main method in the New Wizard. The
code that's generated will have a main method capable of displaying the
shell when executed. You can then copy that main method into your
existing class and modify it to run that shell.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff
