| <title>SWT Standalone Examples Setup</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| |
| <h2>SWT standalone examples setup</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Adding SWT to your workspace</h3> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Download SWT for standalone applications. A standalone version of SWT is available |
| on the same download page as the Eclipse SDK. Look for the section titled |
| <strong>SWT Binary and Source</strong>. Do not extract the archive file, just save it to disk. |
| <li>Select <strong>Import...</strong> from the <strong>File</strong> menu.</li> |
| <li>Select <strong>Existing Projects into Workspace</strong> and click on the <strong>Next</strong> button.</li> |
| <li>Select <strong>Select archive file:</strong> and use the <strong>Browse</strong> button to locate the SWT |
| standalone archive you have previously downloaded.</li> |
| <li>Click on the <strong>Finish</strong> button.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h3>Importing example source</h3> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Download and install the Eclipse Example Plug-ins. The Eclipse Example Plug-ins are available on the same |
| download page as the Eclipse SDK. Look for the section titled <strong>Example Plug-ins</strong>. |
| You can unzip the examples in the same location as you installed Eclipse or you can choose |
| a different location. If you install the examples in the same location as Eclipse, the example views |
| and editors will show up in your Eclipse environment when you select <strong>Windows > Show View ... > Other ... > SWT Examples</strong>. |
| (If the SWT example views do not appear right away in your menu, restart eclipse with the <strong>-clean</strong> argument). |
| <li>To import the example source, select <strong>New > Project ...</strong> from the <strong>File</strong> menu. |
| <li>Select <strong>Java Project</strong> and click on the <strong>Next</strong> button.</li> |
| <li>Give the java project a name such as "SWT Examples".</li> |
| <li>Deselect <strong>Use default location</strong> and click on the <strong>Browse ...</strong> |
| button to locate the following directory: |
| <code>eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk.examples.source_3.1.0/src/org.eclipse.swt.examples_3.1.0</code> |
| <li>Click on the <strong>Next</strong> button.</li> |
| <li>Click on the <strong>Projects</strong> tab and click on the <strong>Add</strong> button.</li> |
| <li>Place a check beside <strong>org.eclipse.swt</strong> and click on the <strong>OK</strong> button.</li> |
| <li>Click on the <strong>Finish</strong> button.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>At this point your SWT examples should be compiled without any errors. Check the <strong>Problems</strong> |
| view for errors. If you get an error like "<code>java.lang.Object</code> not found" it means |
| you have not configured a JRE. Go to the <strong>Window</strong> > <strong>Preferences ...</strong> dialog |
| and select the <strong>Java</strong> > <strong>Installed JREs</strong> preference page. Ensure that a JRE is installed |
| and that the path to the JRE is correct.</p> |
| |
| <h3><a NAME="Run"></a>Running the Example</h3> |
| |
| <p>Now you can run the SWT standalone examples. |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the Java perspective. |
| <li>In the Packages view, select the main class that you want to run. |
| For example, the main class for the Address Book example is |
| <code>org.eclipse.swt.examples.addressbook.AddressBook</code>. |
| <li>Select <strong>Run</strong> > <strong>Run As...</strong> > <strong>Java Application</strong> from the main menu. |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <h3><a name="ExamplesOverview">Examples Overview</a></h3> |
| <p> |
| Consult the documentation of each individual example for the name of |
| its main class and additional details. |
