SWT: The Standard Widget Toolkit

SWT is an open source widget toolkit for Java designed to provide efficient, portable access to the user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is implemented.

Welcome to SWT! You may have come to this page looking for snippets (little code examples) or examples (big code examples like ControlExample); widget snapshots or documentation. Or maybe you want to request a feature or ask a question. Whatever the reason, you will find many resources here. Enjoy!

The SWT newsgroup is a very active user discussion and help forum. See the Eclipse newsgroups page [archive, search].

SWT development is discussed and tracked in the Eclipse bugzilla under the Platform/SWT component. You can subscribe to the new bug inbox by watching platform-swt-inbox@eclipse.org from your bugzilla email preferences.

If you are modifying or porting SWT and have questions, try the SWT developer mailing list [archive, search].
