Hi ,
I would like to know if there is some environment variable
required for activating support for SWT using VE1.0M2.
I am using the Editor plug-in class that is automatically generated from an
EMF model.
For the Editor project, when I go to the build path and click on 'Add
Library' and select SWT, it allows me to do so, but build path errors are
reported because some of the *.jar files are already included by the plug-in
dependencies object.
Now, the plug-in dependencies already show most of the required *.jar files
for SWT, except for the following :
- compatibility.jar
- jfacetext.jar
So, I proceed to remove the SWT library definition, manually add the two
missing jar files as External Jar Files, add a new Visual Class and select
SWT Application. When I click on the Visual Class, I do not get the SWT
Widgets on the VE palette.
The SWT widgets get displayed on a normal palette however, for a simple Java
project, with the SWT Library added to the build path, alone, and when using
a Visual Class.
So, I'm just having problems with a project that has a plug-in defined in
it. How do I resolve this issue ?
Best regards,
Elvis Dowson

If you are developing a plugin, then just add the "org.eclipse.ui" or
"org.eclipse.swt" plugin as a required plugin for your plugin.
Do not use the java build path to add plugin jars when you are
developing a plugin. You should use the plugin.xml manifest editor
instead. That takes care of all plugin dependencies for you.

Hi,
I launched the plugin.xml editor and tried adding the plug-ins you
suggested, but they do not exist as an option in the window.
What should I do ?

Hi,
The swt.jar file is already included anyway as part of the list of
standard jar files discoved using the plug-in dependencies extracted from
the plugin.xml file.
So, since the current project is already importing from org.eclipse.ui.ide ,
is probably the reason why it doesnt show the org.eclipse.ui plug-in again,
when I try to manually add it. Upon inspection in the plug-in dependencies,
ui.jar is already added. The same goes for swt.jar and jface.jar.
So, most of the required jar's exist except for the compatibility and
jfacetext.jar files.
What should I do ?

I'm willing to bet that you do not have org.eclipse.ui as a direct
required plugin of your plugin. If it is a required plugin of some
plugin that you require it may be hidden because the required plugin
doesn't export the org.eclipse.ui plugin. If a plugin doesn't export a
plugin, then plugins down the line can't see that plugin. So in that
case the SWT palette doesn't show because the SWT isn't visible to your
plugin.

Hi ,
Yes, you are correct. In order to make it work, I had to directly
reference the org.eclipse.ui plugin. Then the SWT widgets appeared in the
panel.
Thanks !!
