[platform-dev] Making Changes to SWT

[Alejandro Navarro <alexnavarro57@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone!

I’m new to contributing to SWT, I'm lost, and could use some help. I am trying to tackle an issue and want to make code changes to SWT to see if I can figure out a solution. The problem is I’m not sure how to see these changes. I have a JUnit test using SWT that I would like to test out, but I’m not sure how to run it using my modified version of SWT. I have installed Eclipse and set it up using the development environment provided in the SWT Github page: https://www.eclipse.org/setups/installer/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/master/bundles/org.eclipse.swt.tools/Oomph/PlatformSWTConfiguration.setup&show=true
I have everything running as expected. I’m just lost on how to use this build.

Any and all help will very much be appreciated!

Thank you!
Alejandro Navarro
