The smart bit
After lots of thought, discussion and hard work, I am pleased and proud to finally announce: the SWT smart bit. Somehow, this new and exciting feature got left out of the Eclipse 3.3 M3 "New and Not-worthy". Here it is:
public static int SMART = 0;
Why settle for a dumb version of that old text control when you can spice it up with the smart bit:
new Text (parent, SWT.BORDER | SWT.SMART);
Even better, it works everywhere. Given a choice between two components, wouldn't you always take the smart one?

The SWT class most definitely needs to define more constants! I propose to create a constant in SWT for every word found here: http://www.dictionary.com/
Then you wouldn't even have to think, you'll always know that whatever you want, SWT has thought of it! :)

And when you're just too lazy to look up the correct style, drive that nail in with a sledge hammer!
public static final int BOZO = -1;
button = new Button(parent, SWT.BOZO);

Mattew, we already have a constant for BOZO:
SWT.BOZO == SWT.DEFAULT

But Neil, the smart bit works equally well there too!

Yeah, well, we already have a constant for SMART too:
SWT.SMART == SWT.NONE
The SMART bit may be portable between widget toolkits, but the BOZO bit is portable to all forms of communication. How handy is that??
