More from the CodeCamp talk, fixed up and edited somewhat.

I went to OSCON (just the hall pass) and then to LANG .NET. Both conferences were much fun, and I left excited and motivated. I think it's time to get back into thinking about functional languages! But I'm going backpacking first; Lory stays home this time; she said she could get back into it, but a week on the mountain is too much for a start.

Running the SWT Application Standalone

That last example runs from within Eclipse. How do you run this application outside of Eclipse?

First, you have to set the CLASSPATH variable appropriately.

In addition, you must specify the java.library.path. This is the location of the java native SWT and GTK libraries. These are shared Linux libraries that end in so.

I specify this on the command line.

But this is not enough!

You must also specify the location of the native libraries.

Where are these native libraries?

Remember, when you added SWT to the workspace. This put the directory org.eclipse.swt under your workspace.

But that’s not the only place those libraries exist.

Under the Build Path for the project …

So I could specify java.library.path using those hidden directories, and it works just as well.
