Chris,

Are you attempting to use the Visual Editor, or just develop a plug-in 
that uses SWT?

If you want to use the VE, go to Help->Software Updates->Find and 
Install.  Search for new features on the Eclipse update site and select 
VE 1.1.  After you get that installed, you can use the update manager to 
update it to 1.1.0.1.

Then if you create a new visual class based off an SWT class, the 
SWT_CONTAINER will be added to your project.  Otherwise you can go into 
the Java Build Path on your project's properties, and add the SWT 
library on the Libraries tab.

Hope this helps,
 - Jeff
