What is the usage of the Layout in SWT application, since, we can omit it in our applications. What is the benefit of having it?

You can quickly add, move or remove items in an automatic layout, without tweaking the absolute positions of all other items.

SWT Text has a method called setMessage() which can be used to display a message as a hint for the user, indicating the purpose of the field. It seems that StyledText does not have a setMessage() method. Can something similar be done with StyledText nonetheless? Recently, I had the need to display a hint within a StyledText.

It does, however, not work when started by double-clicking the .app. I'm wondering if this is an error on my part, or a restriction by either Java or OS X. Because Mac apps

I am using JFreeChart library to plot something in an Eclipse view and currently my code for view initialization looks as follows: @Override public void createPartControl(Composite parent) { JFreeChart chart = null; // Created via different object chart = graph.createLineChart("Test Graph", "x", "y"); ChartComposite frame = new ChartComposite(parent, SWT.NONE, chart, true); frame.setRangeZoomable(false); parent.layout(true); } I wanted to add scrolling to my graph when the user zooms in, but so far all the examples that I found (in the demo package, here , and other sources) are based on Swing
