How to see help for SWT classes?

Postby Slot Head » Wed Aug 01, 2007 9:48 am

When I click on String and press F1, a Help window comes up showing all the methods for the String class.

When I do the same with an SWT or JFace class, only useless help topics appear, like Java editor concepts.

How, exactly, do I fix this?

Could a future release of SWT Designer please set this up automatically when a new SWT project is created?

Add sourcepath entries to all of the jars listed in your .classpath file.

You must be using an ancient version of SWT Designer as the product has done that automatically for quite some time now. ;-)
