[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: displaying a PDF on a Mac, Linux, Windo

[Andre Weinand <andre_weinand@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

On MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger), I was able to display pdf files with SWT's Browser
widget:

import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class SimpleBrowser {
    
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        Display display= new Display();
        Shell shell= new Shell(display);
        
        Browser browser= new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
        browser.setUrl("file:///Users/weinand/Desktop/SWT/SWT.pdf");
        
        shell.setLocation(100, 100);
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
        shell.layout(true);
        shell.open();
        
        while (!shell.isDisposed())
            if (!display.readAndDispatch())
                display.sleep();
        
        display.dispose();
    }
}

HTH,
