As I followup to this, I ran this using JRE v1.5 and it worked fine.
This DOESN"T work in JRE v1.4.2. Does anyone know of a workaround in
JRE v1.4.2? I can't move to JRE v1.5 at this time.

I'm having problems when I embed an Swing component within an SWT
composite. Inside the Swing component I have a JTable that contains a
JPopupMenu. The popup menu comes up fine when I right mouse click and
go does correctly if I click anywhere inside the Swing component but
DOESN"T dissapear when I click on an SWT appear of the application.

From what I've read I'm doing it correctly. Is this a bug in

Eclipse/SWT? I'm using the Eclipse 3.2.1 and the associated SWT 3.2.1.

Here's a simple block of code that can be used to reproduce the
problem. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I have to manually code
the popdown of the Swing JPopupMenu from the SWT thread?
