New and noteworthy

In this section, we try to pinpoint some of the novelties regarding the SWT API of the Eclipse Juno version.

The first one regards the StyledText widget. When dealing with text that needs customizations, the basic Text widget may not be sufficient. In this version, some improvements have been made, such as showing automatic scrollbars only when needed.

Another novelty is the possibility of customizing the default browser renderer. This is particularly significant for programs that make use of browsers with a specific native renderer style. The browser also added support for XULRunner 10.

Some of the other updates that can be mentioned are:

  • New methods in the Combo API to get caret information
  • Improvements in the TreeCursor class for navigating among cells
  • The TrayItem image can be highlighted
  • ColorDialog added support for custom colors
