swt - get max time between first and second click for doubleclick event

Question

Hello fellow Stackoverflownians,

I am in need of your assistance: I am developing an Eclipse RCP application, and am having issues with understanding how to get the maximum time allowed between clicks to constitute a double click.

How can I get the OS time needed until a second click to constitute a "double click"?

Or maybe this can be attained via SWT?

I've seen the AWT version here.

Integer timerinterval = (Integer) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getDesktopProperty("awt.multiClickInterval");

Thanks!

I am not using awt in my project, but you've just pulled me out of a "retard"-moment. — Vlad Ilie, Apr 07 '14 at 14:37
I was assuming that it is impossible to mix with swt, but now I don't know why... checking. — Vlad Ilie, Apr 07 '14 at 14:38
So, does this value come from OS? Or is it just a default AWT? — Vlad Ilie, Apr 07 '14 at 14:42
SWT uses native controls so the value will be the OS value. Looking in the Mac code I don't think SWT ever needs to know what the actual value is. — greg-449, Apr 07 '14 at 14:43
But the code is from AWT. Does AWT also use native controls? — Vlad Ilie, Apr 07 '14 at 14:45
@VladIlie The necessary AWT code is included in the default JVM, so you can simply use it, even if you're using SWT. — Baz, Apr 07 '14 at 14:46

As pointed out in the comments, the AWT solution will suffice.

Thanks guys!
