SWT Examples view in Eclipse

[adolfox]

I have Eclipse 3.1.2 installed. I installed the SWT examples in the
Examples section of the Welcome. In the Help, it says that the
examples can be run from the SWT Examples view. I got to my views and
click on Other, and there isn't an SWT Examples view. I downloaded and
installed the windows SWT binaries.

Why is the SWT Examples view not showing up? Has it been deprecated?
Is it not compatible with ver. 3.1.2 of Eclipse?

I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried placing your example SWT files in the eclipse/plugins
subdirectory? Have you checked your classpath declarations?

It works for me in this subdirectory, so there is no problem with
deprecation or compatibility.

I am also having the same issue, has this been resolved ? I tried putting the contents into both the plugin directory and the dropin directory (documents say to use the dropin directory).
