If you are using the Eclipse IDE for your Java projects, you are already using SWT. Standard Widget Toolkit is the open source windowing subsystem that drives Eclipse and is responsible for the snappy performance and the "native-window" look that Eclipse sports.
You can also write your own window applications using SWT, running under several operating systems. This presentation will give you everything you need to get started. How to download and install. How to run your app under Eclipse. How to put together a variety of simple applications.
Presenter: Gervase Gallant
