[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Difference between addListener() and add

[Doug Pearson <doug-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This article says that SelectionListener() is implemented in terms of 
the primitive SWT.Selection event -- which is as you'd expect.

So given that I suppose this means there's a bug in this translation 
when embedding a button in a table because only the untyped 
SWT.Selection event fires and the typed form does nothing.
