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

[Veronika_Irvine@xxxxxxx]

Thank you for the patch.

We have looked at the code and it seems fine but it does not appear to do anything different from what we are already doing in Java code.
We found a problem with our Java implementation in JDK 1.4 and have fixed this so you should be able to run on JDK 1.4 using the latest integration build (20020501-I).

We will hang on to your patch but we will not be releasing the changes until after 2.0 when we have more time to test on the various platforms and examine the issues.

Thank you,
Veronika

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).  Duringtesting 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,
