Description
However, with JRE 1.6 update 14 (did not test earlier releases bc of known bug in the JRE for their 2d libraries) the following bugs occur:
1. You can't enter any text in the search box
2. You can't print on a Vista computer
3. The scroll wheel does not scroll the PDF
These bugs do not exist in the native swing world, just when encapsulated in an Eclipse Rich Client Platform with SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) and bridging to AWT/Swing.

Also, JDK 1.6 is up to Update 17, so get customer to retest with latest JDK 1.6 and latest SWT, etc.
Customer has tested again with an updated version of Eclipse 3.5.1 and JRE 1.6 update 17 but reports that the same exact problems exist.
Confirmed that with Java 1.6 you can't enter text in any of the input text fields, and the scroll wheel doesn't work. With Java 1.5 they do work.
Found the issue. It's not an ICEpdf bug, it's just that the integration code was missing an SWT/Swing best practice, where you're supposed to have a heavy-weight component in-between.
...
SWT_AWT_container = new Composite(ourparent, SWT.EMBEDDED);
awt = SWT_AWT.new_Frame(SWT_AWT_container);
// NEED this heavy-weight container in-between the SWT frame and the ICEpdf JPanel
java.awt.Panel p = new java.awt.Panel();
p.setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(1,1));
awt.add(p);
controller = new SwingController();
factory = new SwingViewBuilder(controller);
viewerComponentPanel = factory.buildViewerPanel();
p.add(viewerComponentPanel);
...
These seem highly likely to be straight-up SWT or SWT AWT bridge bugs.
I'd recommend getting the latest patch release (Eclipse/SWT 3.5.1, Sept. 2009) and trying that: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/index.php#swt.
