A 'Java' ..course geared to a ..source editor (OK - IDE)?!

I find that concept to be very bizarre!

(I am not challenging that such courses might exist, especially
if the educational institution is directing their students towards
a common employer that uses SWT - but as a 'teach these
students a GUI toolkit' type concept, I cannot underastand why
it would be the 'first'* choice.

* nobody has yet implied that SWT should be the top choice
of teaching students a GUI toolkit, but I am working on the
assumption that the 'real question' specifies 1 single GUI
toolkit**, and SWT would sure not be my first choice.

** A quite arbitrary disticntion, purely to support my immediate
point, and quite in contrast to things I might have stated, or
implied, in previous posts***.

*** Am I drunk yet?  (checks) well.. with finishing the last third

probably ( maniacal laugh.. ;)
