SWT AWT Bridge Issues [message #8715]

Hi,

I am making use of SWT_AWT bridge in order to bring panels from my Swing/AWT
application into Eclipse SWT environment. I cannot make use of Albireo since
I have a restriction to stick to Eclipse 3.2 and can't go for Eclipse 3.3 or
higher.

I have broken down my Swing application's window into panels and then
embedded each of these into a JApplet which is added to the frame returned
by SWT_AWT. Some of the problems I am encountering are as follows:

1] Label/buttons within the panel often is not visible until the user moves
his mouse over the area where this label/buttons are located
2] On fast switching between the Eclipse views, often the panel/applet area
embedded inside the Eclipse view appears/becomes blank (anything related to
explicit setFocus?)

For these issues are there any possible resolutions or are these known
issues with the SWT_AWT Bridge framework?

I would be really grateful for any help/direction.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

it might not be officially supported, but I'm running Albireo
successfully on Eclipse 3.2 with SWT 3.2 so you might as well give it a
shot.

Best regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the reply about your case! Sounds good to me... I'll start
plugging around and try to use it. Any idea if there is any place where I
can find information on what might NOT work in case of 3.2?

Thanks,
Rahul
