I am a newcomer in eclipse .I have experience in Java but i opted for a tutorial in Java for 'SWT based Hello World'.I am getting errors on executing it as a "Java Application"(Pictures attached).I have imported the SWT library as said in tutorial .Can anyone tell me where am I going wrong or how to troubleshoot this?

I'm not sure it's a good idea to have these dependencies as workspace projects. If I want to do anything with SWT, I make sure that SWT is in my PDE target platform and I create a Plug-in project to which I add a dependencies (in the MANIFEST.MF Dependencies tab) to org.eclipse.swt and that takes care of managing the classpath so that I don't have errors like this.
