I am trying to create a SWT-application and also use the SWT/AWT-bridge. But whenever I try to use it on MacOS 10.6 i get the error: "org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Not implemented"

I read on the following page that I need something called "SWT Compatibility Libraries" to be able to use the SWT/AWT-bridge on MacOS: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#swtawtosx
Do anyone know where to find this? I can't find it on Apple Developer Connection.
Is it even possible to use the SWT/AWT-brige on MacOS?

Hi,

OS X 10.6 already has the SWT Compatibility Libraries, this additional
download was only needed for older OS X Java installs.

I think the Not Implemented error you're getting is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=246929 , which is fixed in the
swt 3.6 stream (you're using 3.5 right?). If you're able to use a recent
3.6-stream integration build (eg.-
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/I2009092 9-0800/index.php
don't worry about the red 'X' ) then this should work for you. If using a
3.6-stream build is not an option then you'll probably have more luck with
the carbon-based 3.5 release (if you do this take note of
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#cocoa32launch ).

Thanks for your answer!

Yes, I used 3.5 but has also tried 3.6M1.
Now I tried the most recent 3.6 stream (from 6 october) but it gave me some other strange error messages instead. Maybe it has some bugs since it isn't a stable build.
About the carbon build, I changed to 32-bit under configuration but my system didn't let me to run in 32 bit anyway. Strange.
But for now I don't know if I really do need to use the SWT/AWT-bridge but if I do need it I will try again with a later build.
Thanks again!

The October 6th build should contain the fix, and since it's an Integration
build, it's a good one to log bugs against. If you're able to provide a
means of reproducing the problems you're seeing then please log a report
with the appropriate component (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?classification=E clipse ), and
hopefully it can be addressed before 3.6M3 at the end of October.

Thanks!
