I bought a copy of the Warner-Harris book "The Definitive Guide to SWT
and JFace" and have been using it to code an SWT application. Very good
book, IMO.
In it the section on JFace, their examples take the following form:
public class SomeClass extends ApplicationWindow
{
private static SomeClass APP;
public void run()
{
setBlockOnOpen(true);
open();
Display.getCurrent().dispose();
}
public static SomeClass getApp()
{
return APP;
}
}
So, I've followed that example. When SomeClass is instantiated, it stays
in the middle of the run method and any other methods that I need to
call within SomeClass, I call by getting a handle to the SomeClass
instance via getApp().
My question is, is this the only way to code using JFace? It seems that
everything is modal in a sense, and I find myself wondering if there is
some other way to do it.
Are there any online tutorials that someone can point me to?
Thanks,
--Michael

You may get more response if you ask this on the eclipse.platform newsgroup,
since that is where jface lives.
