Hi all,

I'm trying to externalize my SWT application into an executable jar file=
.. =

All classpaths seem to be correct but when I execute the jar with java =

-jar app.jar I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException
at org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout.computeChildSize
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite.computeSize
....
and so on.

I downloaded the standalone SWT jar with the same version I developed my=
=

program with.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Your layoutData is probably incorrect.
Why don't you include a snippet of your code?

Hi,

I had the same problem when updating to SWT 3.2. In my case I forgot to
remove a GridData association when changing the layout from GridLayout
to FillLayout. 3.2 seems not to like this. Maybe you did the same mistake.

Hope that helped,
Friederich

which didn't matter when running the program in Eclipse but somehow didn=

work with the standalone SWT.jar.

Problem solved!
