using swt with jruby

Hey jruby coders, Im trying to test out swt with Jruby, however im having trouble grabbing the org.eclipse.swt. Im on Ubuntu Linux, and installed these packages through synaptic:

libswt-gtk-3.4-java
libswt-gtk-3.4-jni
libswt-gnome-gtk-3.4-jni

In the jirb, I try creating a Display object for instance:
d = org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display = new.

But it cannot find that package. Ideas on how to set this up?

Have you done a

require 'path/to/jar'

for the relevant files? Can you provide more detail on the message that you get?

Cheers,

James

Well i looked around through /usr/lib and /usr/bin to see where the packages may have installed to specifically, but i couldnt find the swt.jar. So I unpacked the zip i downloaded initially, and in the jirb typed require 'path/to/jar' as you suggested, and it returned true. Was able to create a small window using Display and Shell classes. Thanks james :).

Hi Aaron!

How is your exploration of JRuby + SWT going?

We have several systems in production with that setup, so feel free to  
ask questions.  We are very interested in building a community around  
JRuby + SWT for mutual support.

I am usually on #jruby with nick donV.

Havent touched it in a little while actually, been busy at work. Might look into it, as I have a simple chat client thing working with ruby/jruby. Been thinking of implementing swt for the GUI.

Is anyone making use of Glimmer? I looked at that last year and would like to try it again for JRuby/SWT work. Today I use JRuby as an embedded scripting language in an eclipse RCP app, but do all the SWT in java. Would like to start accessing SWT more directly and Glimmer looks like a nice option.

Hi!

We experienced that when writing JRuby to access SWT/JFace, the amount of code shrinks so much that a frameworks is less attractive.  We have now gained a bit of experience, and may re-evaluate Glimmer, but most likely we keep our own "framework" which consists of two modules with utility methods, one for lo level and one for high level GUI construction.

Is your own 'framework" available for others to look at?
