How to create normal SWT Composite with UI created in XWT?
Also same Composite should be used for handling events.

So, I've tried to use x:Class in XWT file, but this causes infinite recursion.

public class Composite_1 extends Composite {
public Composite_1(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
setLayout(new FillLayout());
// load XWT
String name = Composite_1.class.getSimpleName() + IConstants.XWT_EXTENSION_SUFFIX;
try {
URL url = Composite_1.class.getResource(name);
XWT.load(this, url);
} catch (Throwable e) {
throw new Error("Unable to load " + name, e);
}
}
}


<Composite xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt/presentation" xmlns:x="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt" x:Class="test.Composite_1">
<Composite.layout>
<RowLayout/>
</Composite.layout>
<Button text="Double click me!"/>
</Composite>

I think that reason is that XWT creates each time new instance of Composite_1, which tries to load XWT file, etc.

Is it possible to avoid x:Class instance, if given "parent" container is already instance of this class?

I'm aware of http://www.mail-archive.com/e4-dev@eclipse.org/msg02099.html , but I want standalone SWT Composite, not just way to use nested XWT files. I.e. just keep XWT as internal details. Is this wrong idea? Which features of XWT I will lose by doing so? Something important in databinding?

Yes, each time, the XWT Loader will create an instance for each
specification of x:Class.

To prevent the creation, you can use the loadWithOptions() with the option
IXWTLoader.CLASS_PROPERTY

URL url = UserComposite.class.getResource(name);
Map<String, Object> options = new HashMap<String, Object>();
options.put(IXWTLoader.CLASS_PROPERTY, this);
options.put(IXWTLoader.CONTAINER_PROPERTY, this);
XWT.loadWithOptions(url, options);

In this case, you should remove the x:Class attribute in the XWT file.

We do it in inverse order. If the current element type is compatible with
x:Class, we reuse the x:Class instance, instead of creating a new one.

Franckly speaking, I have never considered this way to use XWT. My
understanding is this solution provides a solution to define a SWT composite
in XWT, which can be used in standard SWT programming API. But programming
approach is not really the focus of XWT.

I don't know exactly. XWT is not designed to work in this way.
