Overview of this book

<p>Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Eclipse are examples of tools that help developers by automating an assortment of software development-related tasks. By reading this book you will learn how to get Eclipse to automate common development tasks, which will give you a boost of productivity.<br /><br />Getting Started with Eclipse Juno is targeted at any Java programmer interested in taking advantage of the benefits provided by a full-fledged IDE. This book will get the reader up to speed with Eclipse’s powerful features to write, refactor, test, debug, and deploy Java applications.<br /><br />This book covers all you need to know to get up to speed in Eclipse Juno IDE. It is mainly tailored for Java beginners that want to make the jump from their text editors to a powerful IDE. However, seasoned Java developers not familiar with Eclipse will also find the hands-on tutorials in this book useful.</p> <p><br />The book starts off by showing how to perform the most basic activities related to implementing Java applications (creating and organizing Java projects, refactoring, and setting launch configurations), working up to more sophisticated topics as testing, web development, and GUI programming.</p> <p><br />This book covers managing a project using a version control system, testing and debugging an application, the concepts of advanced GUI programming, developing plugins and rich client applications, along with web development.</p>

Tables


A table can be considered a two-dimensional grid composed of several cells. A possible use for tables is the storage of the results of database queries. In order to add data to a table, it is necessary to use a TableItem object. Each instance of a TableItem object is responsible for an entire row of a table. The values can be set using the setText and setImage methods that takes an integer as parameter to identify which column should be modified.

In a similar fashion to the TableItem object, the TableColumn object receives a table as a parameter in order to associate both objects. Each time a TableColumn object is associated, a new column is created in the corresponding table.

The following code snippet shows how to create a SWT table:

      ...
        Display display = new Display(); 
        Shell shell = new Shell(display); 
        
        shell.setSize(500,400); 
        shell.setText("Table Example"); 
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout( )); 
        
        Table table...
