SWT Designer 1.11 and Mac OSX

Postby bhutten » Mon Sep 01, 2003 1:21 pm

I'm successfully using SWT Designer with Eclipse 2.11/Windows, but it's not /quite/ working under Mac OSX. I tested it by creating the SWT Examples "TabFolder" example. The .java file was created correctly, but when I click the "Design" tab I get a blank error dialog:

The error in the .workspace/.log file is:

You are right, TabFolder support for Mac is not implemented.
We need to use system dependent code for getting tab items rectangles. Unfortunately we don't have nor Mac, nor access to it, so we can not debug this feature.

Is this your only problem with Designer? Can you send us couple screenshots so we will able to place them on our site?

Unfortunately, SWT Designer does not seem to work at all on the Mac. I tried to create the simple "SWT Application" file, and when clicking the "Design" tab I get the same blank dialog. The .log file contains this information:


java.version=1.3.1
java.vendor=Apple Computer, Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=ppc, WS=carbon, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments: -noupdate -consoleLog -showlocation -os macosx -ws carbon -firstuse -install file:/Applications/eclipse2/

Yes, this looks as big problem.
So, you are right, it seams that Designer does not work with Mac.

I don't know at this point. We just had a critical problem fixed by the Eclipse folks which will hopefully allow us to make more progress.
