[news.eclipse.platform.swt] SWT and JAI?

[Roland.Goecke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Roland)]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to combine SWT objects with Sun's JAI
stuff.

I am working on a stand-alone, image analysis application and have thus
far used SWT in the GUI. Ideally, I would like to show an image as part of
the GUI. Sure, I can do that with SWT but I would really like to use the
functionality provided by JAI, rather than rewriting that myself.

Can I somehow "add" an ImageCanvas or something from JAI to an SWT.shell?

I know there is an internal, experimental Swing_in_place code but since it
is not officially supported, I would prefer not to use it. 

Would a workaround me to hold the data in JAI objects but pass them to
SWT.Image objects which can then be displayed in an SWT.shell?

Regards
Roland
