Re: [platform-swt-dev] Building SWT -- Instructions?

[Silenio Quarti <Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To run the JNI gen tool, you just need
to load the "org.eclipse.swt.tools" from dev.eclipse.org
and run the JNIGeneratorAppUI. In the
UI, you will be able to edit things like: type cast of
natives parameters and structure fields
and specify some flags. The "Genereta All"
button generates all the auto-gen C
files and a property file (org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.OS.properties)
with the meta info.

Don't worry about generating the natives
- hand-hacked is fine for testing. 
Just tell us which natives you need when you submit the feature and your
java code to Bugzilla, and we will generate them with JNIGen when the patch
goes in. 

That's reasonable, but I was hoping that I could use the
official build tools to help me stay in sync with your ongoing changes. 
Keeping the stats file up-to-date, etc. is a major pain -- better to merge
the true source rather than the generated content.  For the time being,
I guess I'll stick with hand-merging.

I assume you do realize that nothing
new is going in now until after 3.1 ships. 

Yep.  That's why I'm digging in for a lot of local
merging.  Any idea when the roadmap for beyond 3.1 will be public?
