[SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) (Standard Widget Toolkit) is a very robust GUI toolkit that is most famous for building the [Eclipse IDE](https://www.eclipse.org/ide/), a free and open-source general language Integrated Development Environment that was the first to provide a high-performance pause-free [Java](https://www.oracle.com/ca-en/java/) IDE (unlike earlier versions of NetBeans and other [Java](https://www.oracle.com/ca-en/java/) IDEs), thanks to its very smart software architecture. Additionally, [Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform, built on top of SWT) has been used by NASA to build Mars Rover operational software](https://www.eclipse.org/community/casestudies/NASAfinal.pdf). So, [Eclipse technologies](https://www.eclipse.org/) are not only very highly proven, but are also considered some of the best in the world. In fact, it took CSS decades before it finally caught up with one of [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/)'s very effective ideas, the [GridLayout](https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/layout/package-summary.html). [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swt) makes [Eclipse Technologies](https://www.eclipse.org/) available in [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) via [JRuby](https://www.jruby.org/).

**Starting in version 4.20.0.0, [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swt) comes with the new [***Shine***](/docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#shine) syntax** for highly intuitive and visually expressive View/Model Attribute Mapping, relying on `<=>` for bidirectional (two-way) data-binding and `<=` for unidirectional (one-way) data-binding, providing an alternative to the `bind` keyword. That was [originally conceived back in 2007](https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2007/12/data-shining-in-glimmer.html).
Please help make [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swt) better by providing feedback and [contributing](#contributing) whenever possible. Any feature suggestions that are accepted could be implemented within weeks if not days.

Glimmer might still work on other versions of Java, JRuby and SWT, but there are no guarantees, so it is best to stick to the pre-requisites outlined above.
To change the SWT version to a custom `swt.jar` version that you have, simply set the 'SWT_JAR_FILE_PATH' env var.
