<span class="mw-headline" id="Overview">Overview</span>
</h2>
<p>
The <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/swt/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">SWT library</a> is an open-source GUI library, used by the open-source Java IDE <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/" rel="nofollow" class="external text">Eclipse</a>.
</p>
<p>
XOWA uses SWT in its GUI application across the 3 major operating systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X. This means that SWT handles everything visual: including buttons, text boxes, windows, and of course, the HTML browser.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="SWT_is_not_used_in_HTTP_Server_or_Android">SWT is not used in HTTP Server or Android</span>
</h2>
<p>
If you are running XOWA as an HTTP server or are using the Android version, then SWT is not used.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Packaging_details">Packaging details</span>
</h2>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Platform-specific_jar">Platform-specific jar</span>
</h3>
<p>
SWT comes packaged in an operating system-specific jar called swt.jar. XOWA includes this at /xowa/operating_system_name/swt/swt.jar. For example, on Linux 64-bit, this file is at /xowa/linux_64/swt/swt.jar
</p>
<h3>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Annual_update">Annual update</span>
</h3>
<p>
SWT does a major update annually in coordination with the Eclipse release. Typically, this occurs in June. There are also development snapshots that are released during the course of the year.
</p>
<p>
XOWA will always update SWT shortly after the major version release. Depending on changes, it may also update after development snapshots.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="SWT_version">SWT version</span>
</h2>
<p>
XOWA v0.0.0 through v2.6.4 had been using SWT 4.2.
</p>
<p>
XOWA had been stalled in using SWT 4.3 and SWT 4.4 due to the following SWT bug: <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429739" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429739</a> This bug was corrected in SWT 4.5.
</p>
<p>
As of v2.6.5, XOWA now uses SWT 4.5. As a result the following 2 bugs were also fixed:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Printing was not available. See: <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376358" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376358</a>
</li>
<li>
A very small minority of pages would not render the same as a browser. For example, <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lubbers_Don't_Live" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lubbers_Don't_Live</a>!
</li>
