	Standard Widget Toolkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SWT is the "Standard Widget Toolkit" (an open source Graphical User Interface toolkit) for Java (although it is not a Sun Microsystems Java standard).
		SWT is the "Standard Widget Toolkit" (a Graphical User Interface toolkit) for Java (although it is not a Sun Microsystems Java standard, despite the name).
		SWT, due to it's use of native widgets features a native "look and feel" on all platforms that it supports (SWT widget screenshots from various platforms are available at http://www.eclipse.org/swt/widgets/).

	Widget toolkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer programming, widget toolkits (or GUI toolkits) are sets of basic building elements for graphical user interfaces.
		The Standard Widget Toolkit is a native widget toolkit for Java that was invented as part of the Eclipse project.
		Also unusual for being a procedural toolkit that is cross platform (no callbacks or other tricks), and is completely upward compatible with standard serial input and output paradigms.

		It uses explicitly standard Java, with the approved Java Native Interface, but the toolkit cannot be described as "pure" because of the reliance on a platform-native library for every computer on which it runs.
		SWT has a comparable higher-level JFace API, layered onto SWT but without "hiding" it, to provide classes and functions to handle common tasks associated with programming using SWT.
		Because of the penetration of Eclipse in the IDE marketplace and the correspondingly high developer awareness of SWT, moves at various levels have begun to rejoin what at face value appears to be a schism.

	Java 2D imaging for the Standard Widget Toolkit
		SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) is the widget toolkit that is used on the Eclipse platform.
		SWT's popularity springs from the fact that it is a cross-platform toolkit that makes use of native widgets and has a similar level of functionality to Swing and other modern toolkits.
		are, respectively, the buffer containing the pixel values of the SWT image and the buffer used to contain the pixel values of the AWT image during the pixel transfer.

	Developing embedded apps with eSWT
		The Standard Widget Toolkit is a common tool to develop Java™; application user interfaces (UI), and the embedded Standard Widget Toolkit is used to develop application user interfaces for embedded devices.
		The embedded Standard Widget Toolkit can help by giving applications the advantage of executing efficiently because it enforces a one-to-one mapping between Java native methods and operating system calls.
		"SWT and JFace, Part 1: A gentle introduction" (developerWorks, January 2005) is a multipart series that explains how to create a simple SWT application and deal with GUI issues.

	Standard Widget Toolkit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		SWT addresses this problem by defining a common portable API that is provided on all supported platforms, and implementing the API on each platform using native widgets wherever possible.
		For example, the OSF/Motif 2.1 widget toolkit does not contain a tree widget, so SWT provides an emulated tree widget on Motif 2.1 that is API compatible with the Windows native implementation.
		A Windows programmer will immediately recognize the implementation of the SWT toolkit on Windows, because it uses natives that directly map to the system calls used in C. None of the "platform magic" is hidden in C code.

		The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) is a new class library for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Java.
		Created as part of the Eclipse project, SWT allows developers to build efficient, portable applications that directly access the user-interface facilities of the operating systems it is implemented on.
		The result is a guided tour of the essential aspects of this exciting toolkit, ranging from mouse and keyboard handling to user-interface controls for native operating systems.

	Addison Wesley Professional - SWT: The Standard Widget Toolkit, Volume 1
		SWT developers like bug reports and use them to communicate and organize their work.
		The book intro includes a section on the history of SWT which I found to be fascinating given all of the Swing vs. SWT discussions in the press over the last couple of years.
		Every widget and layout manager is discussed in considerable detail and there is a nice discussion on creating custom widgets and using custom graphics.

		The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) SWT is the software component that delivers native widget functionality for the Eclipse platform in an operating system independent manner.
		The Remote Standard Widget Toolkit (RSWT) is an implementation of the SWT API that is designed to radically simplify the development, deployment and use of thin-client network applications that have rich graphical user interfaces.
		RSWT implements all SWT APIs without using any native code and in a client-server fashion that is transparent to the Java application.

	OOPSLA'05—Extending the Standard Widget Toolkit - how to create your own widgets
		SWT is a widget toolkit for Java designed to provide efficient, portable access to the user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is implemented.
		Complex widgets can be created from the simpler native building blocks; legacy widgets can be encapsulated in a Java layer; or graphics calls and low level user events can be used to design a widget in Java.

		SWT is a widget collection that is wrapped around a native set.
		First of all, I'd compare SWT to AWT as both toolkits provide a native LAF in contrast to Swing which is a true cross platform toolkit with the same look up to the pixel (if required).
		SWT does not separate model and view as Swing does in good old Smalltalk tradition but uses the same easy but limiting approach used by AWT, too.

		The result was the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT), an open source Java graphical user interface (GUI) toolkit comprised of a widget set and a graphics library.
		As a result, SWT enables client-side Java applications to assume the appearance and performance of traditional native desktop applications, albeit at the expense of portability.
		Their most important function is to implement the SWT event loop in terms of the platform event model.

		For example, the client area of a text widget is the area where the lines of text are drawn, not including the scroll bars or borders.
		SWT provides layout classes to compute the size of the controls and automate positioning of children when the parent is resized.

		With this toolkit, SWT data binding support is now also provided.

		The IBM SWT Data Binding Toolkit for RAD provides three types of helper classes that can be generated into a project to enable simple and quick binding of visual components with data from a data source.

		The Eclipse White Paper describes the Standard Widget Toolkit as a "widget set and graphics library integrated with the native window system but with an OS-independent API." The implementation follows the AWT conceptual model, and extends it to include advanced controls.
		Technically, SWT is a set of controls, or widgets, that access native operating system controls through a native library using the Java Native Interface (JNI).
		The Display class is responsible for managing the connection between SWT and the underlying operating system, of which its most important responsibility is implementing this message pump in terms of the underlying platform event model.
