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.

The plugin is called win32 extension, but provides access to non 16 bit windows features. A dll compiled for x32 (aka x86) is provided, but none is provided for x64, the version x64 of eclipse installs successfully the plugin from the update web site, but at run-time, it crashes with "Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform".

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.
