Hi there,
unfortunatelly, I didn't found any eclipse news group... so I post here.

1. Is it possible to develop an Eclipse plugin that use Swing components ?
(Is it a good idea ?)

2. Is it easy to re-use some parts of a Java application in an Eclipse
plugin ?

Thanks for our help
BF

There is a whole plethora of Eclipse newsgroups to be found here:
news.eclipse.org. You’ll need a password to get access, to be found
somewhere on eclipse.org, along with descriptions of what all the
newsgroups are for.

I don’t know, but from what I’ve heard of it, I don’t think it is a good
idea.

Eclipse has their own private news server. You can get account for free
at http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/

Eclipse newsgroups are at the Eclipse server, see:

(you must register with a password)

I've heard it's possible with latest versions.

It depends if it can be refactored easily to match the framework...
