Cool.  I don't really know what it is, but it seems to be all the rage 
among SWT coders.

To try this out we need to update both dwt-samples and dwt-addons?

Should be .model.View, not .mode.View right?

Yes
And instead Set it should be Seq.

I will try to do a better description on a wiki page in a few hours.

I made those changes to svn tango,
hg pulled & updated dwt-win and dwt-addons
did dsss build and dsss install for all three,
but I'm getting errors with dsss build on dwt-addons.

For instance
dwt-addons/dwtx/jface/viewers/AbstractListViewer.d(474)
is using Java style anonymous declaration.

And then the tango changes seem to be leading to lots of compiler erorrs 
in dwtx.core:
dwtx\core\commands\operations\TriggeredOperations.d(200): Error: cannot 
implicitly convert expression (this.children.duplicate()) of type 
tango.util.collection.model.View.View!(IUndoableOperation).View to

hm, should be Seq instead of Set.

There were indead some compile errors left, due to my latest code 
changes. I did only compile the example without rebuilding all files in 
dwtx, so i did not saw the error. It should work now.

I added some more info here:

Where is this supposed to be found?

f:/usr/pkg/d/dsss/bin\..\include\d\dwt\dwthelper\utils.di(944): Error: 
file "eclipse-icon-red-16.png" cannot be found, check -Jpath

I can't locate it in any of the dwt-* res dirs.  Is it possible you 
forgot to check it in?

There are two folders containing images for compile time inclusion.

dwt-samples/res
dwt-addons/res

both folders need to be given with -J

Its also mentioned on the wiki page.

The harder you work, the more shameful I feel for not being able to do  
some dwt-related coding recently.
Anyway, good job! :)

I started trying to port the code from here:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/os-ecgui1/index.html?dwzone=java

I got through listings 1-3 just fine, but listing 4 which uses a 
TreeViewer seems to be crapping out over ResourceBundle not being quite 
implemented.  (dwt.dwthelpers.ResourceBundle.getBundle(char[] filename) 
just creates an empty bundle).
The problems seem to start in in dwtx/jface/resource/JFaceResources.d.


At least I think that's what's up.  Here's the output I get:

f:\usr\pkg\d\dmd\import\dwt-addons\dwtx\jface\viewers\AbstractTreeViewer.d 
918:

Sorry that should be listing 4&5 not just 4.

DWT versions attached in case you have a chance to look into it.

Yes, there are problems still everywhere :)
At the moment its more easy to say what works, than to list the untested 
and problematic code.

I will look into your example code.

Meanwhile i changed many stuff in jface.
Nevertheless, works now, with doing this:

class FileTreeContentProvider : ITreeContentProvider
{
     Object[] getChildren(Object element)
     {
         try{
             Object[] kids;
             foreach( item; cast(FilePath) elements ){
                  kids ~= FilePath.from(item);
             }
             return kids;
         }
         catch( Exception e ){
             return null;
         }
     }
     ....

See also the jface/FileTreeViewer example.
A problem is, the LabelProvider gets completely ignored. This is why the 
icons and name do not show up properly.

ok, thanks. should work now.
jive.stacktrace is a linux-only tool to make tango exceptions have the 
stacktrace info. Its normally only active when version=JIVE is given.

 Just a little side note `$ hg pull -u` will do the pull and then update.

And now they also work on windows.
I discovered and fixed two bugs in dwt-win.
