I've been porting a PyQT hobby project of mine to SWT. I am moving along fine, but I'd like some pointers on useful SWT APIs I maybe unaware of.
* For a standalone app, is it a good idea to include JFace and all of its dependencies. I am using the TextEditor API in JFace for its built-in text search, undo/redo manager, and modification stamp. However, I end up including many dependencies. It seems that JFace is meant to be used for Eclipse plugin development, not exactly for standalone apps. In other words, is it better to write my own code for search, undo/redo, and detecting if the document was modified?
* Is there an existing library that adds common operations for text fields: a context menu with undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, and select all?

but it has many advantages...
you can easily add new functionalities without touching the current code...
the memory footprint will differ once the application size grows,
an swt application will have a almost constant memory footprint thruout the applicayion runtime,where as RCP will have low footprint at start and will increase as the user uses the application.
jared applications are the old way,give a proper application with exe and all that man.....
Any way the advantages outway all the drawbacks which u mentioned...
If your application has scope for new functionality which would be added in later stages
my recomendation would be to go for RCP application...
