[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Can one use JFace for a standalone appli

["Jeremy Gale" <eclipse.10.jgale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is posible to do this. I'd recommend looking at this tutorial:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecgui1/

I think he had the necessary JARs slightly wrong. To make my standalone
JFace/SWT app work, I've had to add
boot.jar
runtime.jar
swt.jar
jface.far

to my build path.

Hope this helps.
