Home > SWT (Standard Window Toolkit)

The SWT LwVCL version provides a flexible and powerful solution with a rich set of different GUI components including complex components, like Grid, Tree Grid, Tree, and the like. To start working with the library as soon as it possible, the package includes about 60 various samples collected in the sample central application, which can be easily viewed. There is not necessity to enumerate all features of the version since they are the same as in J2SE LwVCL. What does it mean "the same"?

It means:

  • You get the same components set!

  • You get the same result! The components' look and feel for both versions is practically identical.

  • Conception, API, documentation, samples set is the same as in J2SE LwVCL. You don't need to spend time on study.


It is necessary to note especially that the support of the version is very easy. I use special LwVCL tools to get the new features and new components just implemented in the J2SE LwVCL (main version) practically immediately in this version. Moreover, I can help you port your J2SE LwVCL developed components into the SWT version.

The branch has the following characteristics:

  • The core package size is about 170 Kb (JAR file).

  • The extension package size is about 50 Kb (JAR file).

  • Contains about 60 various samples. The samples set helps everybody start working with the library. The library provides the special application - sample central. This application is an easy way to see all available samples in one place.
