| <title>SWT - Example Launcher</title> | |
| </head> | |
| <body> | |
| <h2>Example Launcher</h2> | |
| <h3>Introduction</h3> | |
| <p>The Example Launcher is a tool for enumerating, running and browsing a variety of examples. | |
| While these operations may be performed manually (with some difficulty), the Example Launcher | |
| offers a convenient interface. For information on how to manipulate particular examples | |
| manually, please consult their related documentation. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>Running the Example Launcher</h3> | |
| <p>To run the Example Launcher, pull down the Perspective menu, select the | |
| Show View menu item, then select Other from the submenu. A dialog | |
| will come up with a list of views. Expand SWT Examples and select | |
| the view named SWT Example Launcher. A view containing a list of examples to | |
| choose will appear. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>About the examples</h3> | |
| <p>The Example Launcher can launch two different types of examples: Workbench Views, | |
| and Standalone applications. Examples will generally be organized into categories to | |
| distinguish the one from the other. | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Workbench Views are GUI panels that sit inside a given perspective. When the Launcher | |
| starts a program that is written to interact with the Workbench as a view, it is opened and | |
| embedded into the currently active perspective. | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Standalone applications are programs that run using the platform's event loop. | |
| The open() method of these programs is invoked from the launcher. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>Details</h3> | |
| <p>The example launcher view contains a tree list, a text area, and 2 buttons. | |
| The tree list contains a list of all the SWT examples you can choose | |
| to run. When an example is selected from the tree, the text area | |
| shows a short description of each example. The selected example can | |
| be executed by clicking on the Run button, which can be found just below | |
| the tree list. | |
| </p><p> | |
| Depending on the example and on the configuration of your system, it may be | |
| necessary to alter Project build paths or to define classpath variables to compile | |
| or run examples that have been imported to the Workspace. | |
