[news.eclipse.technology.albireo] Re: Eclipse view plugin: swing problem

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ben,

I don't know how to solve but I've included the albireo newsgroup which
deals with Swing/SWT.

The problem looks like the Swing event loop is not working appropiately
hence no events are delivered to the Swing components.
