<h2>SWT standalone example - Hello World</h2>

<p>
The Hello World examples are a set of introductory examples that show how to get started 
on creating an application with SWT.  They cover the creation of a shell, the use of event listeners, 
using layouts, processing events in an event loop, and drawing with a Graphics Context.
</p>

<h4>Hello World 1</h4>
<p>
This example demonstrates how to open a Shell and process the events.
</p>

<h4>Hello World 2</h4>
<p>
This example builds on HelloWorld1 and demonstrates how to display a Label inside of the Shell.
</p>

<h4>Hello World 3</h4>
<p>
This example builds on HelloWorld2 and demonstrates how to use a listener mechanism to resize the Label
when the Shell size changes.
</p>

<h4>Hello World 4</h4>
<p>
This example builds on HelloWorld2 and demonstrates how to use a Layout to resize the Label
when the Shell size changes.
</p>

<h4>Hello World 5</h4>

on an SWT Control using a Graphics Context.
