Hi,
I'm pretty new to how java works behind the scenes, so I
wonder one thing regarding swing.
Everywhere they say GCJ does not support swing, only SWT
for the time being. Ok, fine. Now I have put together a
java swing app in eclipse and it compiles and works fine.
Why?
Somewhere in eclipse swing must exist, either as a wrapper
around SWT or as a binary. How come I can't make a binary
out of my app with GCJ and have it run?
Where can I get hold of eclipse's wrapper or binary for
swing?
Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel,
Eclipse does not include Swing, or any other classes from the Java class
library. It uses your Java runtime's class library to compile against.
If you're able to compile against the Swing classes, they must be
included in your runtime. In the Java perspective, go to Navigate->Open
Type. Enter a Swing class (i.e. JButton) into the first text field. In
the Qualifier list at the bottom of the dialog, it'll tell you the
source jar where it's finding the class.
Hope this helps,
- Jeff
