Where can I find tutorials/API for SWT? I googled for it, but nothing more than some basic introductions.

The best one I have ever used is:

http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~eclipse/

It has almost everything in full PDF documents.

That is one downside to SWT, as great as it is, it lacks support. We need something like the Swing GUI tutorial on the Sun website which is very comprehensive.

Nice tutorial. Question though: Why did you show a SWTUtils class instead of just showing JFace? Your SWTUtils class is basically JFace's Application class stripped down.

I could have done (and might still do) a tutorial on JFace. But I just didn't feel like turning people off with more info than they can handle.

But yes, I agree. Once you get the basic hang of SWT - JFace is the way to go. And who knows, if someone pays me enough - I might even consider doing a JFace tutorial one day :-) ...
