[news.eclipse.platform.swt] structure of classes and files

[Martin Röhricht <ng@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello together,

by creating a new GUI project with Eclipse and SWT, I was wondering how to
structure the elements and seperate them into different files. For
instance, I don't want to concentrate the whole menu in the main GUI
class.
Currently I created something like this:
-------------(TestGUI.java)---------------------
package entities;
[...]
public class TestGUI {
  [...]
  protected static Shell iMainWindow;
  [...]

  public TestGUI() {
    iDisplay = new Display();
    iMainWindow = new Shell(iDisplay);
    [...]
  }

  private void createGUI() {
    [...]
    MyMenuBar mb = new MyMenuBar();
    iMainWindow.setMenuBar(mb.createMenuBar());
    [...]
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    TestGUI gui = new TestGUI();
    gui.createGUI();
    [...]
  }
}
------------------------------------------------
I create the Shell iMainWindow in the main TestGUI-class and want to
create the Menu for this shell in another class (and file):

-------------(MyMenuBar.java)-------------------
package entities;
[...]
public class MyMenuBar {
  protected Menu createMenuBar() {
    Menu mb = new Menu(TestGUI.iMainWindow, SWT.BAR);

    Menu fileMenu = new Menu(mb);
    MenuItem fileMenuItem = new MenuItem(mb,SWT.CASCADE);
    fileMenuItem.setText("File");
    fileMenuItem.setMenu(fileMenu);

    [...]
  }
}
------------------------------------------------

Is this the designated way? Or has someone a recommendation for a better
solution? I'd appreciate any help.

Martin
