No worries. :-) I appreciate being
pointed in the right direction. I had no idea that the newsgroups were even
there. In my haste to find as much out about SWT as possible, I skipped right
over them. I've since subscribed to eclipse.tools.
I've seen some posts to other newsgroups (IBM VAME,
I think) that implied the SWT was being used under the hood for
javax.microedition.lcdui. I'm interested to learn what you find out next
week.
Thanks again,
Greg

Hello
I realized after I wrote that message that it sounded like I was trying
to get rid of you. :-)
I'm not.
We're happy to have you around, in particular if you want to help out on the
Mac port. We haven't gotten very far with this yet. Andre Weinand has done
some Carbon based work which you can find off of the SWT component developer
resources page. He previously tried using Cocoa and believes that Carbon is
more liklely to succeed. I'm sure he can say more about it.
I know that OTI has done some work on a
PalmOS port of SWT which they are using internally to implement the MID-P
lcdui classes. I'm not sure what the plan is for making it available via
eclipse.org (or even if ther is one). That's something I'm hoping to find out
more on next week when I meet up with the lead develoepr.

We haven't spent much time looking
at providing Applet support via SWT, since that hasn't been our focus. There
are several issues including embedding SWT inside AWT (of which there has been
much discussion on the newsgroup), getting the SWT JAR(s) signed properly, and
figuring out a strategy for minimizing the size of the download.
Speaking of the newsgroup... That's probably a better place to be
asking this kind of question. If you go to eclipse.org you can find out how to
sign up for it.
