It is comparably hard to work with SWT applications since they contain too many objects without reliable identification properties. For example, all Composite objects do not differ one from another and the only way to distinguish them is their Index property. However, this property gets value depending on the creation order of an object and, obviously, can change from run to run.

A good way to work with such applications is using the Name Mapping feature. When working with an Eclipse application, the most reliable way to map objects is to avoid using indexes and using the Required Children feature. In this case, to map an object without strong identification properties, you need to find its child or grandchild object that can be identified reliably (e.g. a button with unique caption) and specify it as a required child object. You can find more information on this functionality in the 'Specifying Child Objects Required for Mapped Object Identification' help topic: http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/12481/

You can also use the Extended Find feature of the Name Mapping functionality. This feature is similar to the FindChild method that you can use in scripts. Please find more information on this feature in the 'Using Extended Search Criteria for Mapped Object Identification' help topic: http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/12466/

BTW, I recommend that you watched the 'Creating Reliable Tests For Dynamic Objects with Name Mapping' screencast that will help you to understand the Name Mapping functionality better: http://smartbear.com/support/screencasts/testcomplete/reliable-tests-for-dynamic-objects/
