But anyway here's a short example adapted from a project I'm working on:

shell.addShellListener(new GuiAdapter());
...
private class GuiAdapter extends ShellAdapter
{
	public void shellClosed(ShellEvent e)
	{
		if (!checkQuit())
			e.doit = false; // Don't close gui!
		else
			controller.shutdown();

	}
}

Another suggestion: Before you start using JFace and/or a GUI builder 
it's perhaps a good idea to try and write some SWT gui's by hand. Just 
to get a feel for how it works.
