[eclipse-dev] Using SWT with pure Maven (non OSGi / RCP / plug-in)

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Since a few releases we are publishing our build artifacts to Maven central.

Does anyone know how successfully use SWT in a pure Maven build? If I
try I get multiple errors (see below):

Build file:

Errror I get with "mvn clean verify".
