org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.common

This folder holds common SWT code that can be used across Core eSWT implementations. The classes are contained in subfolders that match the SWT desktop source folder names. This folder represents a Simple Project (i.e., it is not a Java Project). It is not meant to be loaded in your Eclipse workspace. It is meant to be shared across eSWT implementations via CVS modules. CVS modules work like linked resources (Eclipse concept) or symbolic resources (Linux concept). A CVS module is defined for each subfolder in the org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.common folder:

These above definitions exist in the modules file of the CVSROOT repository component. A Core eSWT implementation can then reference these modules. For example, the org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.win project (i.e., the win32/wm2003 implementation of Core eSWT) defines itself in the modules file as follows:

   org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.win  org.eclipse.ercp/org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.win  &eswt-core-common &eswt-core-common-j2me &eswt-core-common-j2se

The above indicates that the org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.win module consists of the org.eclipse.ercp/org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.win folder plus the common SWT code modules. Access to the modules file in CVSROOT is restricted. To define a module, you must send a request to webmaster@eclipse.org. Please follow module naming conventions similar to what is defined for the Core eSWT win implementation.
