Your license just has affect on people using your code, not on the
code/dependencies you use in your GPL'ed application.
You just need to release the source of your code if it's GPL (or send it
on floppy if I ask you to, else you would break the GPL license
yourself) and the possible dependencies that are GPL, if you distribute
those dependencies with your application.. But most people include the
sources in the distribution, to prevent sending floppies :)
And to answer your question : CPL allows that.. If I write an extension
to your application, I am not allowed (according to GPL) to release that
code under BSD style licenses though..
You don't have to distribute the sources of SWT, unless CPL says you
must and afaik I you don't have to (although it's been a while since I
read it)
