Can I use SwingWT to use a Swing like API over SWT containers (Eclipse plugins)?
A. Yes you can – although SwingWT closely resembles the Swing/AWT APIs, you can access the SWT widgets with a call to getSWTPeer() for any component and getComposite() for any container. This works two ways, and you can wrap up an existing SWT widget with a SwingWT one. To add a SwingWT container (eg: JPanel) to an SWT container, simply create the SWT container, then create a new swingwt.awt.Container object and assign the SWT container to it. You can then treat it like any other Swing container.
