The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace von Rob Harris

The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace, 2nd edition should continue to build upon the moderate success of the reputable first edition. The second edition addresses all updates to the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) and its abstraction layer tool, JFace. The updates will reflect those made and available in latest Eclipse Callisto platform release(s). SWT/JFace are still the most widely used and popular graphical user interface (GUI) set of plug-ins that Eclipse users use for building client side applications in the presentation tier. And as you well know, Eclipse is still the number one market leading open source Java IDE platform. This second edition will likely be the first and probably only book on SWT and JFace that accounts for the new Eclipse Callisto as other publishers seem to be focusing elsewhere.
