Is JFace designed to be an addon to SWT or an addon to Eclipse? The reason I
am wondering is I was currious if JFace can be used outside the eclipse
platform in standalone apps.

Hi Robert,

as far as know you can use JFace outside of eclipse. I am not quite sure if
that is true for all components of JFace. SWT provides a thin layer on top
of native platform widgets, but does not provide any higher level app
support, which is the purpose of JFace. JFace consists of several frameworks
for bridging the gap between your domain model and the widgets, Dialogs and
wizards and some resource management components. Note that you can also
strip out all plugins that are not tightly related to ui functionality from
the eclipse runtime, specifically UI Workbench related and core workspace
stuff. This way you create a non-ide sleak application framework that can be
used and numerous scenarios.

Regards,
Sven

These questions are answered at http://eclipsefaq.org, FAQ 137 and
in the intro text for Chapter 8 on Jface.
