 Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2003 5:05 pm Post subject: AWT code in a Eclipse (SWT) plugin |
 |
|
Hi--
I've been tasked with moving some legacy AWT code into an Eclipse
plugin. Does anyone know if it is possible to run AWT inside of
Eclipse? Or will I need to port the AWT code to SWT code.
Thanks in advance,
David

I'd recommend porting the stuff. There's an experimental AWT bridge for
Windows and JDK 1.3 only. They might have ported it to 1.4 but AFAIK no
other platform supports it.
Another way would be if you launch your AWT program on a second VM and
use RMI or something similar to communicate.
