Fixing a bug in SWT

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 also use more recent ones).
   
2. Download and install the current Eclipse build. (Select the "Eclipse Classic" download.)
3. Setup SWT from GIT. Make sure to load org.eclipse.swt plus any swt fragment you need (for example, org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86), org.eclipse.swt.snippets, and org.eclipse.swt.examples.
   
4. Click on any Snippet or example, and select Run As>Java Application.
