Hi, 
 
after an eternal fire fight I hit the wall with the following situation. 
 
Actually nobody behalf eclipse itself is able to run a java program  
which makes use of SWT from the OSX command line neigther to start it  
with an exec("java .....") from another class. 
 
If you come from a w2k reality as I do and make use of SWT to be able to  
run your programm on OSX you will not be easily able to do this. 
 
I tried a hell of suggestions, different setups ecc. I tried to find out  
the command line arguments eclipse uses itself to invoke the jvm through  
the debug features. I searched through the system for strange jars  
double jars version conflicts, ecc. I can tell you that the console is  
afraid of me now. 
 
I never digged very deep into the MAC OSX, but I learned quite a lot of  
their jvm options. But it didn't helped. The basic problem for a  
braindamaged windows fellowman as me is, that I realy didn't knew  
anything about 
 
	MRJAppBuilder !!!!!!!!!! 
 
If you throw all your pissing jars into it you get out a "tiny"  
directory which is seen by the OSX finder as a single doubleclickable  
entity you can put whereever you want, even on a network drive, and it  
works perfectly on every flavour of mac running OSX. 
 
I know that it's not the only way to get it up and running, but it was  
the only way I found out, with the hint from Mike Mitterer on the german  
  java newsgroup. 
 
He too had my problems, he too is convinced about SWT, but !!!!!! 
 
I think that such an important thing about developing swt apps that  
should run on OSX as well should be mentioned somewhere. And I hope that  
if somebody else starts up asking about problems running fully tested  
swt applications from other plattforms on OSX will remember this and  
tell him. 
 
Nevertheless SWT/JFace is a hit ! (copied as well from Mike) 
 
Frank

If you have SWT feedback, you will be better off posting it to 
eclipse.tools, as eclipse.technology is more lightly read.
