Hi,
The Cocoa port runs on OSX 10.5 and newer, the Carbon port runs on OSX 10.4
and newer (if using Carbon on 10.6 note
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#cocoa32launch ). If your app needs to
run on an older OSX than 10.4 then you'll need to use an older SWT release
that had this support (I think OSX 10.3 was the oldest ever supported,
either by Eclipse/SWT 3.3.x or 3.2.x).
You should be able to use a 64-bit eclipse release to develop a 32-bit app.
Just keep in mind that if you should stick to Java 1.5 API and earlier,
because JRE 1.6 is not available in a 32-bit flavour prior to OSX 10.6.

Macs, but cannot specify a particular OS version other than that it will be
OSX (not OS 9).
