Sorry for the short answer but I had (have) the same problem and am a
little frustrated. :(
There is no GlassPane since not all platforms provide the functionality
nessecary. If I have some time I want to check if a glasspane can be
emulated by using a canvas with no background and some special layout
managers but I haven't gotten around to it yet and having a lot of other
probs that have priority.
So if you find a Solution please post it.

Regards
Stefan

perhaps draw2D could be of help (you don't need to impliment GEF if you
just want to draw)

Do a cvs checkout :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swingwt and grab swingwtx.swing.JGlassPane I haven't tested it myself by Robin's pretty stingy about contributions to SwingWT working consistantly and he hasn't mentioned any problems with the JGlassPane implementation. You can use the class itself in an SWT app but it's tricky. I recomend just scraping the source for what you need and then using the concepts to build your own. If you build a generic implementation, could you post it? Once in a while I run across this (though not often enough to do something about it). ;-)
