Hello,

as I see in "org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.1.0.jar" from SDK M6 the DLLs and
Windows manifest file are included, whereas the standalone downloadable
SWT release ships system libraries as separate files.

Who does this works?

Why are files in standalone release not bundled with swt.jar?

In order to use the C libraries they must be extracted from the jar.
Eclipse OSGI runtime extracts the libraries into the eclipse/configuration
folder which is why the SWT plugin works with Eclipse. We did not want to
force standalone applications to develop a mechanism for extracting the C
libraries. We have considered providing our own mechaism but have not had
time for this.
