<ol>
<li>To get the examples, go to the Eclipse downloads page at <a href="https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads">
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads</a>.</li>
<li>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>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, you can find their source in <code>eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.examples.&lt;exampleName&gt;.source_&lt;version&gt;.jar</code>.
<li>To run the plug-in SWT examples, restart Eclipse, go to <i>Window &gt; Show View... &gt; Other...</i> and expand "SWT Examples".</li>
</ol>
<p>Alternatively, you can use these (more detailed) steps from the Eclipse ISV doc to download, install, and run
the Eclipse SWT Examples:</p>

<ol>
<li><a href="eclipse.php">Load SWT into your workspace.</a></li>
<li><a href="#insideEclipse">Load the SWT examples into your workspace by one of the methods listed above</a>.</li>
<li>Run a standalone example by selecting the main class (e.g. org.eclipse.swt.examples.controlexample.ControlExample) and selecting
<br><em>Run &gt; Run As &gt; Java Application</em> (Note: prior to Eclipse 3.3 use
<em>Run &gt; Run As &gt; SWT Application</em>).</li>
</ol>

<div class="homeitem">
<h2><a href="#standaloneOutsideEclipse" name="standaloneOutsideEclipse"></a>Running standalone SWT Examples outside of Eclipse</h2>
<p>(NOTE: these instructions will only work for Eclipse 3.3 and newer) To run the ControlExample or CustomControlExample standalone:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the Eclipse downloads page at <a href="https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a>.</li>
<li>Click on the Eclipse build that you would like examples for
(i.e. the Eclipse/SWT build that you are running; typically the latest Stable Build).</li>
<li>Scroll down until you see "Example Plug-ins", download the .zip for your platform, and extract it to your local machine.</li>
<li>In the directory with the extracted example plug-ins, find file <code>org.eclipse.swt.examples_&lt;version&gt;.jar</code>, and extract it in place.</li>
<li>Open a DOS window (on Windows) or a terminal window (on Mac or Linux) and navigate to this directory.</li>
<li>To run the example, type the following line with the appropriate paths substituted:<br>
<code>&lt;pathToYourJRE&gt;\bin\java -classpath &lt;pathOfYourPlatformSWTjar&gt;;.\swtexamples.jar org.eclipse.swt.examples.controlexample.ControlExample</code>
<p>This is the ControlExample. There is a tab for each control, and you can
change the various styles, etc, to see what changes in the controls. To run
the CustomControlExample simply use the class name CustomControlExample
instead of ControlExample in step 6.</p>
