[java] Can I add a SWT widget in a swing JPanel?
Hi folks,
I need some advice from the folks here that use Eclipse as their IDE.
My entire project is written in swing... I need to display an IE browser window as one of my requirements, and I was previously using JDIC for that. It was cool and working, but I know that the current version of SWT can do that as well (with the Browser component), and since I will need the OLE controls that it also provides, I decided to dump JDIC and use SWT for these few requirements.
I am not going to change my entire GUI to use SWT... It is already done, in swing. My question is simple: can I render a SWT widget on a JPanel component (swing)? I know that the opposite is possible (i.e, render swing/awt within SWT components), but I would love to add that browser component to a JPanel that fits nicely to the rest of my GUI.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rodrigo
Sounds cool.
Does it has support for the SWT features I mentioned (native browser, Ole support)? If I could just render a SWT widget inside a JPanel, that would suffice.. Don't want to add yet another dependency, or swap my GUI code.
Anyway, I'm downloading it to evaluate it. Thanks for the tip. Rate++ ;D

Well, have you tried? Sometimes the easiest way to find out if something will work is to just try it once.
Or asking about it on a forum, because the guy who suggested it might know about it or any pitfalls related to it :p
I downloaded the library, and I'm going to see how it fits on my code. It's about 1MB dependency, and it matters to my project. Plus, I feel uncomfortable having three UI APIs on the same classpath :p
