SWT: SWT CoolBars
Overview A CoolBar is like a ToolBar on steroids. Like ToolBar and ToolItems, CoolBar is a container to which one adds instances of the CoolItem class. Although a ToolItem object appears as a button on the ToolBar, a CoolItem serves only as a container for other widget types - Combo, Text, or Button. This makes a CoolBar a massively useful interface construct. In fact, the Eclipse toolbar is actually a CoolBar and is a great example of how to leverage the capability of the CoolBar and CoolItem classes to enable the user to customize the user interface.
