[jboss-as7-dev] birth of "console ui" in eclipse

> BTW, is it impossible to run Swing code from inside Eclipse?

I believe it's possible, but I don't think it's very pretty.  The biggest problem is that the underlying windowing systems are very different between the two: SWT rides the OS, while Swing provides its own.  All SWT controls are either native controls or built using native controls.

That said, I've never attempted this, never researched and never seen it done.  (I don't get out much though. ;) )
