In Eclipse 3.0, APIs have been introduced for integrating AWT and Swing with SWT. This support is “product-quality” on Windows and has only early access support on Linux under JDK 1.5. The main entry point for AWT integration is the class SWT_AWT. It provides a factory method, new_Frame, that creates an AWT Frame that is parented within an SWT Composite. From there, you can create whatever AWT components you want within that frame. The bridging layer created by SWT_AWT handles forwarding of SWT events to the corresponding AWT events within the frame.
