Description Carsten Drossel CLA 2008-11-27 05:24:19 EST 
I want to use the OLE support of Eclipse in a RCP application without a SWT UI. To use org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OleAutomation I need SWT UI classes like org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display. This is the subject of enhancement request 68194.

If that issue is resolved I would still have a dependency on the org.eclipse.swt (org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86) Plug-in in my application. The OLE classes should be moved to a separate bundle to avoid such dependencies.
Comment 1 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2009-05-08 15:05:54 EDT 
OleFrame and OleClientSite is a subclass of Composite.
OleEvent has references to Widget.
OleEventSink has references to SWT.
just to name a fill.

SWT also uses OLE in a bunch of places (Browser, Accessibility, MLang for TextLayout, etc).

I'm closing this as wont fix. Sorry.
