| <p>Full-blown examples that can be downloaded from the eclipse download |
| page. The examples in package org.eclipse.swt.examples run standalone, |
| and the examples in org.eclipse.swt.examples.* packages are eclipse |
| plug-ins.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>To get the examples, first go to the eclipse download page: <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php"> |
| http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php</a></li> |
| <li>Then click on the eclipse build that you would like examples for |
| (i.e. the eclipse build that you are running; typically the latest Stable Build).</li> |
| <li>Then scroll down until you see "Example Plug-ins". Read the paragraph on installing them, and select the download for your platform.</li> |
| <li>After installing the examples, the source for them will be in a src.zip file in the |
| appropriate subdirectory of: eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk.examples.source_<version>/src/ |
| <br>For example, the 3.1 source for the standalone examples in org.eclipse.swt.examples is in: org.eclipse.sdk.examples.source_3.1.0/src/org.eclipse.swt.examples_3.1.0/swtexamplessrc.zip.</li> |
| <li>To run the plug-in SWT examples, restart eclipse, go to <i>Window > Show View... > Other...</i> and expand "SWT Examples".</li> |
