Gallery JAR failure? [message #36778] Tue, 26 June 2007 01:44 Go to next message

Hi,

I am working with nebula gallery. When I include the JAR file into my
project, I don't get any exceptions but my GUI fails to load as soon as
I try to construct any gallery related object (Gallery, Galery Item,
Renderer etc). However, if I include the whole source into my project,
it works fine.

Also, upon including source, GalleryDragSourceEffect file is unable to
import org.eclipse.swt.dnd.DragSourceEffect and thus gives errors ...
when I delete GalleryDragSourceEffect.java, my project works fine.

Can anyone tell me why I cant just use the JAR, and how can I get rid
of this error with GalleryDragSourceEffect?

Thanks,
Hamid

What's your target env? I'd guess that nebula widgets are compiled
against 3.3 and the class you mention is from maybe from 3.3.

If you include the source this works because the eclipse compiler
produces half compiled .class files and if you programm is not running
into the code part that caused the error it works :-)

The Drag source effect is indeed a new feature of SWT 3.3.
Could you check if you can use the jar with the latest RC of SWT 3.3 ?
Are you using SWT alone or RCP ?

I am using Eclipse 3.2 on Mac OS X (and Windows, since my application
needs to run on both). I am building an RCP application.

Should I migrate to 3.3? What would it change?

Thanks for your help.

Not much. You should be able to run you app in Eclipse 3.3 without
changing anything in your code. Maybe some dependencies problems in some
case that can be easily fixed. Give a try on a separate eclipse install.

Eclipse 3.3 has a real better OSX support (realtime window resizing,
tray icon, search style for text widget, ...).

I'm developping the Gallery Widget on Eclipse 3.3 / OSX since M1.

Appart from the DragSourceEffect, I'm surprised you have problems with
the Gallery and SWT 3.2. I see no more dependency problems in the code
and the jar seems ok. This should work as far as you don't use the
DragSourceEffect.

Did you add the Gallery plugin jar to your feature and checked that the
run config was correctly updated ?

FYI, if you compile against 3.3 and use only 3.2-compatible APIs, it is
still possible that the compiler will generate code that does not work
under 3.2. This is because the bytecodes used to call methods can
change depending on the full class hierarchy of the target method in
some cases.

AFAIK, the only way to be certain that new code will work in a specific
environment is to build with the lower-bound version of all
dependencies. Yes, this is a real drag. I think PDE Build is
considering a way to deal with this for 3.4, but I've misplaced the
bugzilla entry.
