SWT GLCanvas + Curve TextRenderer

Hi, I'm going to use jogl for drawing charts in my RCP-based applicaon.

But I'm stuck trying to make  com.jogamp.graph.curve.opengl.TextRenderer to work with org.eclipse.swt.opengl.GLCanvas

Can anyone provide a simple example of drawing some text on org.eclipse.swt.opengl.GLCanvas using com.jogamp.graph.curve.opengl.TextRenderer ?

Thank you.

Pls use NewtCanvasSWT, since the Eclipse SWT GLCanvas is not properly supported.
Also our SWT GLCanvas cannot suit GLCapabilties properly, read API doc.

Then .. it is easy to attach a NEWT window to SWT via NewtCanvasSWT,
i.e. use one of the unit-test/demos using graph.

Where can i find such demos or unit-tests ?

The demos are here and our JUnit tests with SWT are here.

I'm getting some strange "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas" when i try to add NewtCanvasSWT to my view.
It is strange because i definetly have org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas in my project's classpath.

Creating org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas works fine
        Canvas can = new Canvas(parent, SWT.NONE);

but
        NewtCanvasSWT newtCanvas = NewtCanvasSWT.create(parent, style, null);
causes ClassNotFoundException
