SWT development quick start

SWT: The Standard Widget Toolkit - is open source UI toolkit for Java applications.

SWT contains powerful set of widgets - UI components.
SWT applications work fast, because this toolkit based on native OS libraries.
And development of SWT applications is pretty simple.

• List of SWT UI components you can see at Widgets page.
  
  
• Snippets page contains many SWT samples. It is a good idea to download all these examples and review theirs.
  
  
• Start Eclipse, create new Java project.
  
  
• Put downloaded snippets into the project's src directory.
  
  
• Add SWT library to the project's build path from the Eclipse's plugins directory (e.g.: plugins/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.2.0.v3232m.jar).
  
  
• Then select on of the snippets and run it.
  
  
• Does it work? :-)
