Here is sample working version. public class TableEditorTest { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { Display display = new Display(); Shell shell = new Shell(display); shell.setLayout(new FillLayout()); TableViewer viewer = new TableViewer(shell); viewer.getTable().setHeaderVisible(true); viewer.getTable().setLinesVisible(true); viewer.setContentProvider(new ArrayContentProvider()); TableColumn column = new TableColumn(viewer.getTable(), SWT.NONE); column.setText(“First Name”); column.setWidth(100); TableViewerColumn firstNameCol = new TableViewerColumn(viewer, … Read more
A very simple solution could use GridData::exclude property. For example, Code import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData; import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Event; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Listener; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell; public class HideLabel { public static void main(String[] args) { Display display = new Display(); final Shell shell = new Shell(display); shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false)); shell.setText(“Hide Label”); … Read more

Here is some code that does what you want. I basically use GridData#exclude in combination with Control#setVisible(boolean) to hide/unhide the Composite: public static void main(String[] args) { Display display = new Display(); final Shell shell = new Shell(display); shell.setText(“StackOverflow”); shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, true)); Button hideButton = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH); hideButton.setText(“Toggle”); final Composite content = new Composite(shell, … Read more
To follow up on pauxu’s answer, I’m using launch4j and NSIS on a project of mine and thought it would be helpful to show just how I’m using them. Here’s what I’m doing for Windows. BTW, I’m creating .app and .dmg for Mac, but haven’t figured out what to do for Linux yet. Project Copies … Read more
On Windows, setForeground for Buttons has no effects. As a workaround, add a PaintListener to your Button. On this Listener’s paintControl method, get the generated event’s GC and, with it, re-write the text of your Button using the color you want. You can, in fact, draw anything over your Button.
Yes, you will definitely need -XstartOnFirstThread to get this working on Mac OS X. Since it’s a VM parameter, you can only specify it when launching your application, so detecting the OS from you code and setting it if it’s Mac OS X is not possible. The solution on the Eclipse site creates a proper … Read more
I spent a while bashing my head against this one until I realised that obviously eclipse must have access to a monospace font for use in its text fields, console etc. A little digging turned up: Font terminalFont = JFaceResources.getFont(JFaceResources.TEXT_FONT); Which works if all you’re interested in is getting hold of some monospace font.
