SWT Win32 Extension extends the Eclipse library SWT. It is a software development kit enabling you to work with native code from Java programs without using JNI. With SWT Extension, you don't need to create native libraries to call a function of the operating system API or a function from any dynamic library. You write code in the Java language only, and SWT Extension does the rest. SWT Extension provides quite a number of integration features to make your Java application look and behave like a Win32 citizen.
  • Window Decorations: making windows always-on-top, transparent, flashing on the taskbar, etc.
  • Custom Shape Window: creating non-rectangular windows using custom Regions.
  • Access to Windows Registry.
  • Shell Folders: getting paths and icons of the user folders (Favorites, My Pictures, etc)
  • Shell Links: managing the system link files.
  • System Info: gathering CPU, memory, disk, network, OS version,variables and session information.
  • Hooks: using system hooks and allowing to intercept some system events.
  • Specially, you can get a lot of functions via SWT, because SWT Extension extends SWT.

Can we imagine to be able to Hook a Win32 application so as to provide its window the application? For example in a SWT tab.
