Code generation

[mnaglik]

Hello.
I was using SWT Designer for few days for developing application with quite a few forms and I had to do some workaround for few things:

1. Why generated code have widget declarated in {} - why they are not just fields in a class?
For example there is no easy way now to program accessing any widget.
I've got a window with i.e. 10 Text and I want to have button for clearing the content of Texts.

For me the best way would be to support JFace ApplicationWindow instead of just generating all the stuff in main method (all class variables must be static) and to have posibillity to change the position where the fields are declarated.

Thanks
Marcin

There are two buttons above Inspector - one of them allows you navigate in source to the place where current control in created. And second button converts local variable to field and field to local variable.

Yes, we will implement ApplicationWindow support, but this will take some time, and it will be available only in professional version.
