Help needed, SWT and LWJGL once again ;-D

[EvilOne]

Hi folks,

A nice thing would be a tutorial on using SWT together with the LWJGL library. I'm in the need to create a level-editor application, but have no idea how to combine SWT and LWJGL.
Any tutorial, source code, etc. would be really nice. Especially, on how to setup a rendering context on a SWT component and working with more than one rendering context.

Writing the SWT component is not the problem, just registering a window class with the styles needed, create the window, and create a rendering context for this. The problem is, how to tell LWJGL to use this context?

Maybe there are some out-of-the-box solutions, already done by other LWJGL users?

I'm a long-time Java coder, but for GUI and realtime rendering stuff I always preferred C++ for the engine and C# and WinForms for GUI development. But now with LWJGL and SWT, there should be no problem to use Java!?

Thanks in advance,
E1.

OK...I suppose it's my turn to answer as I did the nasty binding  :wink:
You could take a look at the current implementation of the SWT/LWJGL binding by grabbing it at http://ant1.di.uniba.it/lwjgl/lwjgl_swt_win32.rar.
For the next release (1.0) we should have it as a part of the library and Linux should be supported as well.
Till that moment you could take a look at how to do what you're looking for, browsing the org.lwjgl.test.opengl.Sweet example.
I hope that this could help ya  :wink:

Maybe an offical 0.9b release would be really nice ;-DDDD

I concur with the official version increment  (Display.sync!)

unless too many parts are 'unstable'
