Things to know about SWT, and groovy builders Part 2
i’ve extended the documentation for SWT builder and put better structure into it with a ToC to those who may copy it.
however i’m still fighting with some bugs/issues especially at the mo with bind, that i have not fully resolved. I’ll add an additional post once i get that bottomed out
see latest in attached word file Wills Groovy SWT tutorial v0.3
this is somewhat work in progress at now at v0.3

Hey Will,
this is a nice documentation, big thank you for that. I’m also diggin’ into SWTBuilder right now. Mostly everything works, but I’m really curious about one special topic: how do you integrate custom widgets, which are not registered as factory to the Builder? Let’s say I want to create a new Wizard. If I wanted to change the button names (Finish, Cancel etc.) of the WizardDialog, I normally would subclass the WizardDialog class and override the method which is creating the buttons. So, I have a custom WizardDialog class with the overriden method. How would I integrate this custom widget into SWTBuilder?
builds not complete yet – however the SWT builder doesnt stop you adding your own code in closures on the build and essentially if the get the returned node – you can still write your own logic within the builder to use that node – thats the great thing about the builder concept – it lets you do a bit of a blend
whilst i was getting my head round /fixing a number of things – i’ve essentially done that in situ in my local build. what i need to do is refactor it as an extension so you can clearly see the elements i’ve addedd corrected without changing the base.
the next thing is see if i can find an owner to put those suggestions back on as improvment – but i’ve got a working position in between till i get the time to tidy up
