Open up eclipse and open up a class in VE and it has a nice blank screen.
1. Does it not "parse" and show the layout as programmed?
Create "new" visual class using VE
1. Creates (for example) a new shell but the layout (VE) shows nothing.
2. I can add a SWT widget but it puts the source into the code - then goes
away visualy (code still has widget created).
I KNOW its me because I'm from MFC/Windows world and this java thing has
me all excited but getting this stuff to work is proving...well like
learning MFC all over again ;)
OH! Opening up a previously made class with SWT (I used the SWT controls
example code output and created a test class out of it-it uses SWT of
course) but VE opens up the window (again blank :( ) But only allows Swing
controls in the pallet - no SWT whatsoever... preplexing....
Thanks for your response.

So when I install 3.4.0 next time I'll write again :) Now off to the
races! I'm fighting with layouts - which I won't even ask :) I'm sure
everyone gets into this trouble - I can't be the only one.....
BTW no to inspire bad blood but the Netbeans 5.0 provides an ecellent
visual editor but produces HORRIBLE code that I couldn't even understand!
This.add().add().add()
.add().add().add()
.add(layout this and that).add(this that and the other)
Geez!

Joseph,
Sounds like you manually added the SWT jar to your project, rather than
using the SWT Library classpath container. If you create a new Java
project, then create a new Visual Class using Shell or Composite, your
project will be configured correctly.
Hope this helps,
- Jeff

OK to be specific - looked at the product config by "Help->Software
Updates->Manage Configuraion" and :
It has Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) 2.2.0.v200606271057
... (some others)
And Graphical Editing Framework SDK 3.2.0.v2060626
And Visual Editor 1.2.0.v20060530_RC2-0a2N7MMI7
under VE it says:
Java EMF Model 1.2.0.v20060530_RC2--ZasJsJJez
How did I creat this? I simply downloaded the zips and simply uncompressed
it all into c:\ which created the eclipse folder and all other folders.
Is this the wrong way to go about it? Should I use the update manager to
download each plug in from the sites?
Also? Why is Java EMF under Visual Editor - am I interpreting that wrong
and what it means is that its using the Eclipse Modeling Framework 2.2.0?
Thanks in advance - and Jeff - you answer a lot! Everybody probly owes
you a six pack of something :)

P.S. Tried your suggestion and removed the "manual" JAR of swt and used:
[right click on project]->Build Path->Add Libraries and chose SWT - is
this not what you were talking about? Still didn't work - even opening up
the SWT examples with the editor doesn't seem to work - so I know its got
to be a configuration (idiot user) thing. Honestly there isn't all that
great of information on how set things up - I guess Eclipse/SWT is
relatively new in the life scheme of programing language/ides but it seems
much more poslished than what I WAS used to many years ago :)
