I am currently evaluating changing my code from Swing to SWT. But I find
that SWT is fairly primitive
and cumbersome. I don't really know enough yet to be sure. In Swing I have
a table that uses a custom
table renderer to draw a colored circle around text in a cell. How can
this be implemented in SWT
without going to a large amount of trouble. In Swing this is fairly easy
to do.

No, unfortunately this means that SWT sucks for my puposes. My native
platform is Mac and I know
that supports changing renders and I have complete control over a native
Table control on the Mac.
This tells me that SWT just simply does not support the native interface
very well. I need flexibility on
all platforms however. Thats the point of using Java isn't it!!! Thanks
for the info though I will simply
stick with the best environment SWING.
