Fixing a bug in SWT (Under Construction)

Set up your Java environment:

1. Download and install a Java JRE (SWT only requires a 1.4.x JRE to run but you can obviously use more recent ones).
   
2. Download and install current Eclipse build. (Available here) Select the "Eclipse Classic" download.
3. Setup SWT from CVS. Make sure to check out org.eclipse.swt, any swt fragment you need (ex. org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86), org.eclipse.swt.snippets, and org.eclipse.swt.examples. (See instructions here).
   
4. Create a private CVS project for your test code. This is important to keep track of bugs that are fixed.
   
5. Click on any Snippet or example, and select Run As>Java Application.
