Andres,

Enter a bug report indicating that the
snippet doesn't work and we will look at it.  We are in the middle
of Eclipse 3.0 release.  Each fix must be approved by 2 component
leads.  If the fix is easy, then it could go in for 3.0.  If
the fix is dangerous, then you'll have to wait until after 3.0.  Don't
delay, enter the bug report today.

Steve

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Printing with GC and org.eclipse.swt.printing failing on MacOS X

I'm currently working with a few people on a SWT project
where printing  
is needed. We are developing for the MacOS X 10.3.3 platform. Currently
 
we're having trouble in implementing swt printing in our project. We  
then looked for some examples on swt printing and found this:  
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-swt-home/
snippits/snippet132.html?rev=1.3&content-type=text/plain . We tried
to  
run this on our target platform but were not successfull. What we get  
is the following NullPointerException on stringExtent():

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
                
at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC.setString(GC.java:2033)
                
at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC.textExtent(GC.java:2145)
                
at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC.stringExtent(GC.java:2085)
                
at Main.main(Main.java:45)


We also tried to run the example without getExtent() and failed also  
with a NullPointerException on drawString() . Are there any issues with
 
GC on MacOS X? On a win32 machine everything worked fine. Are there any
 
fixes for this? We are really pressed with this and would be glad if  
there was a bugfix or some help with this issue. Also, would it be  
possible to use AWT printing in a SWT project?

Thanks for any help you can give us!

Greetings,

Andres

BTW: Is this eclipse mailing-list appropriate for such questions and if
 
not, which one would it be?
