I don't mind you replacing a French Impressionist painter with SWT, but I can't get to the configuration center at work. How else can I get the new SWT replacement?
Are the tutorials the same for SWT as for Swing/Matisse. Are they compatible? |

douglasmhurst,
Sorry that you are seeing this issue.
1. Can you please share the Installation Details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ?
2. Are you behind a firewall/proxy ?
3. Can you please let us know what exact issue you are seeing when switching to the MyEclipse Configuration Center ?
4. Clear the contents of the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log. Replicate the issue and copy paste the contents of the .log file here for us.
5. Go to Help > Help Contents > MyEclipse Learning Center > Developing Swing Applications > Overview to find the tutorial for SWT/Swing. |

I installed SWT Designer and Swing Designer from the Config Center.
I created a Java project then attempted to add a SWT Application Window. It told me to add the .jars or create a SWT/J<something or other> project.
I can find on wizard or anything for creating a SWT/J<something or other>.
Do you not yet have any kind of tutorial for this? |

This is the message I'm getting...
"If you wish to use SWT, please add the appropriate SWT jars to your classpath, or create a new SWT/JFace Java Project. You may also create a plug-in project and allow PDE to manage the classpath for you."
I do not see a SWT/JFace Java Project anywhere? |

BTW, there's no help available for SWT/JFace in the help content file. For SWT, they just show how to install the designer(s). |

douglasmhurst,
You can find the SWT/JFace Java Project under New > Other > WindowBuilder > SWT Designer.
Attached is the screenshot for your reference.
There is a SWT/Swing Designer Overview in the Help under MyEclipse Learning Center but it is not complete. I have raised a PR for the team to expand the help.
There is a quick start guide in the Help > Help contents, under WindowBuilder Pro User Guide. You can also refer to this link for more info :
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.wb.doc.user%2Fhtml%2Findex.html for Eclipse Indigo.
I suggest you also look up on the web for detailed tutorials.
Let us know if you see any issues. |
