bwdesign does not start and throws exception

Unix

"org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles" occurs if you run bwdesign when there is no X server running and X11 forwarding has not been enabled in your .ssh/config file.

To resolve this issue you need to log into the machine with the -X option like this..

ssh -X user@host

..and set "ForwardX11 yes" in your ~/.ssh/config.
