[news.eclipse.technology.albireo] Re: SWT_AWT cannot subclass Composite

[Gordon Hirsch <gordon.hirsch@xxxxxxx>]

If you are using EmbeddedSwingComposite from the example code, the AWT 
frame is embedded directly into the SWT.EMBEDDED composite, so the email 
you refer to should not apply.

Byeond that, a stack trace might help shed light on the problem.
