[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: getBackground and dispose

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally no.  A resource like Color should be disposed when both of the
following are true for it:
- you created it (ie.- at some point you invoked new Color(...), new
Image(...), etc.)
- it's no longer being used anywhere (in your example, the widget that you
invoked getBackground() on is still using it, so disposing it would not be
good)
