是否可以在Android Studio或IntelliJ上使用SWT？

Question

I've used Android-Studio for a long time, and I got used to it over Eclipse.

I wish to create an SWT app for PCs (windows, Linux, macOs) , and use a nice UI mechanism like Window-Builder that used to exist for Eclipse.

Is it a possible thing to do on Android-Studio or IntelliJ ?

If so, how?

Answer 1

There is no visual UI editor like WindowBuilder to create SWT UIs in IntelliJ.

But you certainly can create SWT applications with IntelliJ or any other non-Eclipse IDE for that matter. In my opinion, UI designer are overrated and UIs can be equally well implemented by hand . Thus if you are willing implement the UI in code you simply need to get a copy of the SWT library and you are set.

If you follow the redirects from this question it will guide you to maven artifacts of SWT: maven project: SWT 3.5 dependency: any official public repo?

Note that SWT comes with a native part that might make extra settings necessary to launch your application.
