SWT/JFace in Action covers the territory, from simple widgets to complex graphics. It guides you through the process of developing Eclipse-based GUIs and shows how to build applications with features your users will love. The authors share their intimate knowledge of the subject with you in a friendly, readable style.This book encourages you to learn through action. Each topic provides extensive code to show you how SWT/JFace works in practical applications. Not only do these examples help you understand the subject, they are a working set of programs you can reuse in your own interfaces.Chapter 1: Overview of SWT and JFaceChapter 2: Getting Started with SWT and JFaceChapter 3: Widgets: Part 1Chapter 4: Working with EventsChapter 5: More WidgetsChapter 6: LayoutsChapter 7: GraphicsChapter 8: Working with Trees and ListsChapter 9: Tables and MenusChapter 10: DialogsChapter 11: WizardsChapter 12: Advanced FeaturesChapter 13: Looking Beyond SWT/JFace: The Rich Client Platform
Covering Eclipse's new capability for building graphical user interfaces with version 3.0, the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) and JFace, this guide demonstrates how these award-winning tools have received broad support for creating desktop applications. Theory and practical examples reveal how to build GUIs that combine the look and feel of native interfaces with the platform independence of Java. This guide also shows how SWT makes use of the widgets provided by the operating system and describes how these components can be associated with events, containers, and graphics. With this knowledge, programmers can build fully featured user interfaces that communicate directly with the underlying platform. JFace's ability to simplify and organize the process of GUI design is then demonstrated, enabling developers to modify and adapt components, and separate their information from their appearance.
Professional Java Native Interfaces takes a solutions-based approach in showing how SWT/JFace works, discussing each common component, providing useful, practical ideas, tips and techniques to make the Java developers' work easier. The author provides relevant and timely examples, both stand-alone applications and smaller code snippets that readers can incorporate into their own code. To provide a truly real-world quality, the author builds an email/ftp client sample application to show readers how to combine everything into a presentable Java native UI application.
Need to build stand-alone Java applications? The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace will help you build them from the ground up. The book first runs down the Java GUI toolkit history. Then the book explains why SWT is superior and provides extensive examples of building applications with SWT. You’ll come to understand the entire class hierarchy of SWT, and you’ll learn to use all components in the toolkit with Java code. Furthermore, the book describes JFace, an additional abstraction layer built on SWT. Demonstrations of building JFace applications are also included and reinforced with thorough explanations and example code. These applications can be used as GUI plug-ins for Eclipse, and they’re compatible with the new Eclipse 3.0 application development framework.
