Need to build stand-alone Java applications? The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace will help you build them from the ground up. You’ll first get a rundown of Java GUI toolkit history. Then the book explains why SWT is superior, and includes extensive examples of building applications with SWT.

You’ll come to understand the entire class hierarchy of SWT, and learn to use all components in the toolkit with Java code. Furthermore, the book describes JFace, an additional abstraction layer built on SWT. Demonstrations of building JFace applications are also included, and reinforced with thorough explanation and example code.

These can be used as GUI plug-ins for Eclipse, and are compatible with the new Eclipse 3.0 application development framework.
