SWT dll info [message #448470] Mon, 10 January 2005 18:47 Go to next message

Didn't find any info in the FAQ's and I'm trying to determine which SWT
dll's are important to provide along with my app.

I'm using a Win2K dev system with Eclipse 3.0.1. Under the ...\os\win32\x86
directory, I have the following four files:

swt-awt-win32-3062.dll
swt-awt-win32-3063.dll
swt-win32-3062.dll
swt-win32-3063.dll

I suspect the 3063's are newer versions and I should include both latest
swt-win32-* and swt-awt-win32-* dll's with my app. I'd appreciate more info
on the versioning as well as the functionality differences between the
swt-win32 and the swt-awt-win32 dll's.

We use Windows 2000 and eclipse 3.0.1 too and have similar questions which
have gone unanswered on this forum (good luck).

Our observations confirm what you say about the "3063" dll's being newer
and being replacements for the the "3062" dll's.

We don't use awt.

The instructions seem to indicate put the dll's in your system32 folder as
part of setup.

A bigger question for us is: how do you run an SWT on anything but a
machine that has eclipse installed. Deploying swt.jar next to an swt
app's jar file hasn't been enough. We've tried deploying the dll too.

We also use JFace, and there's five jar files that one book told us to
distribute with such apps. We'd sure like to read that in a authoritative
api guide on line, and for that matter, hear definitively, "what do you
have to distribute with swt apps?"

We are interested in learning if there is one single person who has ever
deployed a standalone SWT/JFace app on anything but an eclipse platform.
The problem with everything being a plug in is, no one seems to be
reponsible for answering questions like this.

All you need (for SWT) is the swt.jar file in the classpath and the dir
where the dll is in the library path (add -Djava.library.path=<directory
where dll is> if you run from the command line for example). Don't know
about JFace (yet).

This is the recommended solution if you have the swt.jar and dll's already
installed on your system.

However, as I'm interested in distributing my app as a jar that uses the SWT
java classes and JNI classes, I want to know precisely what dll's need to be
included with the distribution. As the Win32 solution has (4) dll's that
appear to be two different versions, I suspect I should use the 3063's but
was hoping someone knew the details. In addition, for a Win32 system, is
the swt-awt-win32-*.dll file required for an app that only uses SWT.

You must have the version of the dll that matches the version of the swt
jar(s). If you open the swt.jar you will find a file called version.txt.
This will tell you which version of the dll is required. You must have the
exact version. That is, if the version.txt says 3.062 then you can not use
swt-win32-3063.dll even though the version 3.063 is higher. You must use
swt-win32-3062.dll.

The library swt-awt-win32-XXXX.dll is only required if you use SWT_AWT to
embed Swing/AWT widgets in SWT.
