No, you don't need the entire Eclipse download to run SWT applications, just the SWT native library. Specifically: 1. Like any Java application, you need the application and a compatible version of the JRE. You'll also need whatever JARs the application uses. This is all standard Java deployment. 2. For SWT applications you need the native SWT library, which for Windows is shipped in a single DLL (currently about 250KB). Most Windows developers are familiar with the concept of a DLL, since many Windows applications require multiple DLLs to be installed. Summary: You need a compatible JRE and a native library object (a DLL for Windows). The benefit of this is that it will run on Solaris, Linux, Mac... as well as Windows. Joe
