[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Embedding Swing toolbar using SWT_AWT Br

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rahul,

I think Paul's answer on the eclipse.platform newsgroup looks right (copied
below in case others are interested).

"
1) you can probably use a Swing toolbar in a Swing JFrame embedded in an SWT
Composite using SWT_AWT
2) you can't place your Swing toolbar in the eclipse main toolbar/coolbar,
SWT_AWT can't bridge a Swing toolbar into an SWT toolbar.
"

For some SWT_AWT example snippets see:
