hi,
i had a question regarding the following lines of code:

while (!shell.isDisposed ())
{
if (!display.readAndDispatch ())
{
display.sleep ();
}
}
display.dispose ();

does this code need to be everywhere, or just in one place? if i have 3
shells, do i need it in all of them? what if i have my main in a class
that does not include a shell, maybe makes an object of another class that
will be the shell, does it have to be in both or just the one with main?

Also with dispose, do i need to dispose of everything? can't i just
dispose of the Display and shouldn't that in turn dipose everything else,
if i have 20 gui components in a shell do i have to remove all of the
myself, what about variables such as Integer or File?

Thank you.
