Why do you want to do this? What's the requirement? Why not use any of the Swing alternatives? – Shantae

Here is a working example on GIT showing how to embed SWT in a traditional Swing JPanel: https://gist.github.com/caprica/6890618 (Text version: here)

The trick is to create a java.awt.Canvas linked to an SWT shell. This canvas can be added to any tradionnal Swing component. The SWT shell loop is managed by a separate thread.

Here is a screenshot on my Windows 7 box with Java 7:

djbrowser i a better solution i think,it wrapps the swt stuff and code becomes readable and manageable. You don have to deal with SWT shells etc. – Umeko

@Umeko Can you post some sample code in a response? – Hummel

The example does work on Windows 7 with Java6, but the same problem occurs as the OP mentioned. You have to resize the frame before anything is visible – Vassalage
