There *were* a few SWT issues on Mac OS X Lion -
e.g.
-
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6780269/running-eclipse-on-mac-os-x-lion
-
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7256961/no-content-assist-in-eclipse-after-upgrade-to-mac-lion

The complete list can be found here
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;short_desc=10.7;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr;component=SWT;product=Platform;classification=Eclipse

But a number of them have already been *fixed* in the latest Eclipse
Release 3.7.1, so I would say things should be ok.

In any case, copying this to the SWT forum, maybe someone has more
information there.
