[news.eclipse.platform.swt] SWT Label redraw()/update()

[sedota@xxxxxxxxxx (Don Sedota)]

I can't seem to get the repaint or specifically the redraw(), followed by
an update(), to work for SWT labels within my plugin. I am trying to
update the text in a particular Label within a customized view by doing
the following while inside the event loop thread;

label.setText(someText);
label.redraw();
label.update();

It looks like the label.setText() is working, but the Label does not
reflect the changes until I resize the screen. Does anyone have any idea
what I might be missing? BTW - I'm running the plugin via the runtime
workbench, if that makes any difference.
