| <h2>SWT Example Launcher</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Example Launcher is used to launch SWT examples which can either be Workbench Views, |
| or Standalone applications. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Workbench Views are examples that are integrated into Eclipse. When the Launcher |
| starts a Workbench View, it is opened in the currently active perspective. |
| <li>Standalone applications are launched in a separate window. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| For information on how to run the standalone examples without the SWT Example Launcher, |
| refer to <a href="swt_manual_setup.html">Manual Setup</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The SWT workbench view examples can also be launched directly without using the SWT Example |
| Launcher. SWT workbench view examples can be found under the SWT Examples category of the |
| Show Views dialog. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Running the Example Launcher</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| From the Window menu, select Show View --> Other. |
| In the Show View dialog, expand SWT Examples and select the SWT Example Launcher view. |
| A view containing a list of examples will appear in your current perspective. |
| Select an example from the list. A brief description of the example is displayed. |
| Click on the Run button to launch the example. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h3>Details</h3> |
| <p>The example launcher view contains a tree list, a text area, and a button. |
| 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 |
| displays a short description of the example. The selected example can |
| be launched by clicking on the Run button. Standalone examples are run in the |
| same thread as the workbench's UI but they are not integrated into the perspective. |
| The launcher invokes the <code>open()</code> method of the standalone example. |
