Simply put: Is there any way to create non-modal JFace dialog? I've tried calling setShellStyle to no avail. If I remember right this isn't a problem in swing - is this a shortcoming of SWT, or am I just misusing the widget?

TIA

Using

setShellStyle(SWT.CLOSE | SWT.MODELESS | SWT.BORDER | SWT.TITLE);
setBlockOnOpen(false);

seems to be the practice. This doesn't work for you?
