The Eclipse platform continues to gain tremendous popularity as both a Java IDE
and a Java platform for application programming. One of the core underpinnings
of Eclipse is SWT, the Standard Widget Toolkit. This set of components can be
used to develop graphical user interfaces in Java,and offer a native-code alternative
to Java's Swing and AWT components. Incorporating the look and feel of whatever
platform the code is run on, SWT offers a lightning-fast approach to building
GUIs, all of which actually look like they belong on the platform on which they
are run.
But you already know what you want to do--so wading through the basics of user
interface design, graphical components, and what a button does is simply a waste
of time. Enter SWT: A Developer's Notebook. In typical Developer's Notebook
style, you'll learn how to take SWT out for a spin, make it work for you, and
turn it upside down, all without wasted words or space. Each lab in this notebook
details a specific task; you can read from the first page to the last, look
up just what you need to know, and even squeeze this book into your laptop bag
as a quick reference when you forget how to create a multi-tabbed view.
This book covers:
- Downloading and configuring Eclipse and SWT
- Menus, toolbars, and buttons
- Building tabbed layouts and folders
- SWT's unique coolbar control
- Adding listeners and responding to events
- Building a complete SWT-based application
