Hi

I have a Swing application for which I have source code for some parts while
the rest are available as jar files. I have the following questions:

a) To convert this application to SWT, is it enough to just convert the
application parent window?
OR
b) is it that every Swing widget has to be converted separately to SWT ?
c) How to deal with Swing widgets in the jar files for which I have no
source code ?

Is it advisable to use SWT_AWT bridge or rewrite the Swing code to SWT?.

Thanks in advance!

regards,
Chez

<i>Hi Chez, I have a similar problem: a swing application (using jgraph) that has now to run as RCP application. I reuse the inner JPanel of the initial swing application:</i>

Composite composite;
...
JPanel panel = new JPanel(); // This is the panel of the swing app
Composite SWT_AWT_container = new Composite(composite, SWT.EMBEDDED);
Frame awt = SWT_AWT.new_Frame(SWT_AWT_container);
awt.add(panel);
awt.setVisible(true);

<i>I hope this will help you, I don't know if is exactly what you need (depends on the application you have)</i>
