[news.eclipse.platform.swt] JFace examples in Second Edition of Clayberg

[Chris Gage <chrisgage@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted this message to the email address supplied in the book but
got no reply, so here goes...

In my setup, with Eclipse 3.2.0 Build id: M20060629-1905, I got all
the way through the SWT examples without any problems whatsoever.

I then moved on to the JFace examples in Chapter 5.  In addition to
the instructions for adding support for standalone JFace on page 193 I
proceeded with the ListViewer example.  The instructions were shown
for Eclipse 3.1 and were evidently  insufficent for Eclipse 3.2, and I
was obliged to add the org.eclipse.core.commands jarfile to my build
path, to resolve EventManager.class  This got me further along, but I
got stuck again at runtime with

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/eclipse/core/runtime/ISafeRunnable at
com.qualityeclipse.sample.ListViewerExample.main(ListViewerExample.java:36)

The line in question is

final ListViewer listViewer = new ListViewer (shell, SWT.SINGLE);

ISafeRunnable seems to be a rather fundamental part of the Eclipse
core.  What have I done wrong?  I had heard tell that JFace is now
formally unsupported outside the Eclipse plugin framework, so I fear I
may be on my own here.

I see a bunch of posts to this newsgroup from 2003 that mention
standalone JFace and wonder where to go from here.  I had high hopes
for this book having had similar impassable roadblocks and unanswered
errata with both the RCP book and the SWT book.
