RE: [platform-swt-dev] Patch for SWT_AWT

["Di Iorio, Matthew (ISS Atlanta)" <MDiIorio@xxxxxxx>]

I have tested with JDK 1.3 and 1.4 and Windows 2000.  All of the knowledge/code was taken from the following page, which is included in the JDK 1.3 docs:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/awt/AWT_Native_Interface.html

The code only works with Windows because (a) I don't know too much about X and (b) I don't have Linux installed anywhere.  It shouldn't be too hard to port to X if there is a way to create a Shell from a Drawable(?).

 

The only quirk with the code is the part that loads jawt.dll (the loadJawtLibrary function).  During testing I found that the code failed to load jawt.dll when the code was run using the invocation API.  When I ran the code with java.exe it worked fine.  I'm not sure if it's something that I am doing wrong, but I haven't figured out a way around it.

Cool.  What JDK versions does it work with and what OS platforms have you tested it on?

The file swt.c is generally for native OS calls so we would probably keep the AWT integration native stuff seperate as I assume it is  platform independant.

Send the patch to this mailing list and we will check it out.  Before sending a patch, please be sure that it does not include any code that is copied from AWT source that is not publicly available and that it does not make use of any knowledge of AWT that is not publicly available.

Thank you,
Veronika

I have version of the SWT_AWT class using JAWT that I wanted to contribute.
Part of the class is implemented natively and I'm not quite sure how that
fits into the Eclipse project.  Would the native part be patched into the
swt.c file?  Right now I have it in its own file.

Thanks,
