Run the following example, click on the button and you get the SWT Exception wdiget is disposed.
See Stack trace below.
In the dispose method of a widget, we need to check that the widget has not been disposed in the Dispose callback.

public static void main(String args[]){
	Display display = new Display ();
	Shell shell = new Shell();
	shell.setLayout(new org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout());
	shell.setBounds(100,30, 800,600);
	shell.open();
 
	final Composite panel = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
	panel.setBounds(20,430,100,100);
 
	final Button button = new Button(panel, 0);
	button.setText("dispose button");
	button.setBounds(7,7,80,70);
	final SelectionAdapter[] selectionListener = new SelectionAdapter[1];
	selectionListener[0] = new SelectionAdapter(){
		public void widgetSelected (org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionEvent e){
			button.dispose();
		}
	};
	button.addSelectionListener(selectionListener[0]);
 
	final DisposeListener[] disposeListener = new DisposeListener[1];
	disposeListener[0] = new DisposeListener(){
		public void widgetDisposed(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeEvent e){
			button.removeDisposeListener(disposeListener[0]);
			panel.dispose();
		}
	};
	button.addDisposeListener(disposeListener[0]);
 
	while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
		if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
	}
}
