Ben,
Yes, Eclipse 3.0 needs java_swt but this should be transparent to you, that
is if you run an SWT-based application from within Eclipse 3.0.x, it will
automatically use java_swt.
However, in recent versions (3.1 stream) we eliminated the need for
java_swt. Instead we are now relying on a new option "-XstartOnFirstThread"
of Apple's JVMs >= 1.4.2_04 that allows to start the VM in the first (UI)
thread. This is exactly the functionality previously provided by java_swt.
Please make sure that you are either running Eclipse 3.0.x or Eclipse 3.1 on
at least a 1.4.2_04 VM.
