[news.eclipse.technology.albireo] SWT AWT Bridge showView results in org

["Rahul Kamdar" <rtkamdar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am using the SWT_AWT Bridge framework for bring panels from my Swing
application into Eclipse/SWT. One of the issues I was encountering earlier
was about views not getting refreshed appropriately whenever there was a
change in the underlying Swing content. The way to workaround this was
recommended to use the "showView" and "hideView" methods to explicitly
remove and add these views again, as a result of which their
createPartControl methods would be invoked - ensuring the refresh.

As a side-effect of using these methods, there are some inconsistent cases
where I encounter the following:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Item not added

I am not sure why this is happening and what to do to avoid this problem.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
