[platform-swt-dev] Mixing SWT and AWT/Swing

Hello SWTians,

I am a newbie in SWT programming and I have a question you probably get quite often:

Is it possible to mix SWT and AWT | Swing components?

More specifically, I am interested in including SWT controls inside AWT frames. 
I have a couple of existing dull Frames that could use a little "life"...

I have tried using the SWT_AWT.new_Panel method but to no result.
Unfortunately, it does not come with any documentation so as to give me a hint.
BTW, why, when calling that method, do the relevant controls get "erased" from screen?

(I have a feeling that SWT and AWT are incompatible due to the different event mechanisms, but then again I may be wrong...)

I would be grateful if you could point me to a relevant link or a simple how-to example so I can get started. (provided, of course, such a mixture is possible)

In case you have already answered a similar question in the forum, you may as well point me to that answer.

Thank you for your time,

Best regards,
