Tip

This icon signifies a tip, suggestion, or general note.

Warning

This icon indicates a warning or caution.

Also in this book I use a number of conventions. For example, menu items are separated with an → like so: File→ New→ Project. To make them stand out, new lines of code are highlighted when they’re added, and I indicate more code yet to come with three dots. Here’s an example:

for (int loopIndex = 0; loopIndex < 10; loopIndex++)
{
    TabItem tabItem = new TabItem(tabFolder, SWT.NULL);
    tabItem.setText("Tab " + loopIndex);

    Text text = new Text(tabFolder, SWT.BORDER);
            text.setText("This is page " + loopIndex);
            tabItem.setControl(text);
         .
         .
         .
}
