Re: [platform-swt-dev] Is there a Desktop Shortcut tool in SWT?

[Carolyn MacLeod <Carolyn_MacLeod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

See the org.eclipse.swt.program.Program
class to do file-system and program oriented work.
The swt snippets page has a few snippets
to show what this class can do.

SWT is a widget and graphics toolkit,
so I don't think the link work would be a good fit. Thanks anyway.

I would just try Google.

Good luck!

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Is there a Desktop Shortcut tool in SWT?

I've a requirement to edit, create & destroy desktop
links across 
platforms.  Easy enough on Unix, unless we can't use the Unix ln command
and must instead use Window Manager/Desktop specific links.  Right
now, 
I'm operating under the assumption that every Windows OS has a different
format for the *.lnk file and that this might be the same for Unix 
desktop environments.

1. Does SWT provide this functionality?

2. If not and I am allowed to write and perhaps subsequently donate this
code, would it be accepted?

3. Does anyone know where I can find specs for these file formats 
(Especially Windows)?
