This example is a Lisp version of Explorer v9 from http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecgui3/ The gifs are from ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/developer/library/os-ecgui3/examples.zip To use it, (optionally compile) and load swt9jfli-gen.lisp first, and then swt9jfli.lisp. Start it with (swt0:main). But make sure first that besides asm.jar (http:/asm.objectweb.org), the various swt-related jars are in your classpath. I start abcl like this: /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -cp /home/simon/java/j2/j/src/\ :/usr/share/java/pg74.215.jdbc3.jar\ :/home/simon/java/asm-1.5.1/lib/asm-1.5.1.jar\ :/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.core.boot_2.1.3/boot.jar\ :/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime_2.1.1/runtime.jar\ :/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jface_2.1.3/jface.jar\ :/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jface.text_2.1.0/jfacetext.jar\ :/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_2.1.3/ws/gtk/swt.jar\ :/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_2.1.3/ws/gtk/swt-pi.jar\ -Djava.library.path=/opt/home/simon/java/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_2.1.3/os/linux/x86/\ :/home/simon/java/jogl/\ org.armedbear.lisp.Main "$@" If everything goes well, a window like http://www.math.bme.hu/~asimon/lisp/swt.png should appear.
