Hi;
I am considering Eclipse, but something that bothers me is that I recall reading
that it does not support Swing.
To be honest I don't really understand this.
Could you please confirm that I can use Eclipse along with the entire 1.4.2 JDK,
including all of Swing?
Thank you all;

Although Eclipse uses the SWT as its widget toolkit,
it supports Swing in a way that you can write, compile,
debug and deploy Swing applications with Eclipse.
You can even extend Eclipse itself with a Swing app;
it's just that SWT is the primary choice for Eclipse plugins.
Hope this helps,
Karsten

When people say that Eclipse does not support Swing that means that
there is no WYSIWYG tool to build Swing programs. If you like to write
all Swing code by hand, you can definitely use Eclipse.
