style bits unresponsive in design mode

[ryuujin]

I created a regular ApplicationWindow with a sashform containing a tree and a table. But whenever i try to change the style bits in the properties window it just doesn't like want to be selected. I tried to change all the styles it just wouldn't work, however the code is change but it only can have one style bit at a time. Even with the code changed the design mode doesn't show a border or anything. I'm using v6.7.0 with with the java eclipse 3.4, java 1.6.0_07, and swt & jface 3.4.

We could not reproduce this. We duplicated the above based on your description and all of the styles worked fine.

It would be helpful to see a test case and have some info on which widgets and styles you were trying to set

Also, were there any exceptions in your Eclipse ".log" file that might account for this behavior?

I looked at the .log file, and i get a lot of noclassdeffound from the SWT Designer. what does this mean, did i install it wrong? I got the zip file and extracted to the dropin folder. Did have a previous swt designer ver. on there but it wasn't linked with the eclipse 3.4 that i'm currently using.

Edit: I was able to reproduce the same behavior my coworker's workstation that has the same java, eclipse, and swt designer version and installed that same way, but it was a clean install no previous swt designer. He also gets the noclassdeffound exception in his .log file too.

If you are using one of the stripped down Eclipse distributions that does not include the PDE, you need to install the PDE first (as stated on the product download page and in the FAQ)
