• org.eclipse.swt.--platform--*jar
  • SWT is the low-level GUI library used by Eclipse. WorkThru standalone tools such as the Wip Viewer use this library instead of Swing because SWT is lighter-weight and has native platform look-and-feel. NOTE: This is the only library that is platform dependent. The WorkThru binary bundles ship with the Windows SWT library. Other platform SWTs can be found at the SWT website.
  • License: Eclipse Public License 1.0

• mysql-connector-java*bin.jar
  • MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver. The connector is distributed because many WorkThru tests and samples have been built with MySQL. To successfully run the tests and the samples identified as MySql samples, you must have your own copy of the MySQL database. (It is dual-licensed [GPL/Commercial], so download it under the terms that apply to your intended use.) We are able to provide the conector because it is covered by a special license exception called the MySQL FLOSS License Exception, which can be found at the MySQL website. This exclusion allows the distribution of MySQL client libraries such as Connector/J to a package that is covered by an OSI-recognized open source license. The WorkThru license (EPL 1.0) is such a license.
  • License: GPL with exclusion found in 'Exceptions-connector-j'
