After googling around on this topic, it seems that there is no clean way of doing this.
The initial community-accepted way I managed to find was using javascript (Browser.execute(String)) to retrieve your data, store it in window.status and then, a BrowserStatusText listener would get that value from the status text. An example is here: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/SWT-JFace-Eclipse/QueryDOMnodevalue.htm On the other hand, by checking the Eclipse/SWT API, it seems that Browser.evaluate(String) also got implemented along the way and, compared to execute(String), it actually returns the value of the executed JavaScript so you can use it directly. Documentation here: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fswt%2Fbrowser%2FBrowser.html So, to sum it up, use JS to document.getElementById(...) for each field in the form and use their names+values to build the request performed by your Finish button. Hope this helps, Eduard P.S.: Can you post a screenshot of the wizard page containing the template's form?
