Stolen from a post by Veronika:

Short answer:
    You want the plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/motif/swt.jar file.

Long answer:

There are multiple swt.jar files in the download - it is a matter of looking
at the right one.  It is confusing so I will try and explain.

There are swt.jar files in the following places:
    plugins/org.eclipse.swt/swt.jar
    plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/win32/swt.jar
    plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/motif/swt.jar
    plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/photon/swt.jar

The first one is for other plugins to compile against when they require SWT.
It contains only the windows stuff - not an issue since the API is the same
for all platforms.

The ones under the ws directories are for runtime and each jar matches the
windowing system specified in its directory name.  You want the
plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/motif/swt.jar file.

I'm trying to port Eclipse to a non-Intel (PowerPC) Linux with OpenMotif
and have recompiled the launcher and found the correct JVM for it to run.

However, I get an error that I can't link to
org.eclipse.swt/ws/motif/libswt-linux-2012.so because it's a little-endian
i386 library and I am on a big-endian non-i386 architecture.  The obvious
thing to do is recompile said library (like I did with
org.eclipse.core.resources/os/linux/libcore_2_0_1.so).  However, I can't
find the source anywhere in the tar I pulled down
(eclipse-SDK-20011107-linux-motif.zip).

Where should I be looking? The swtsrc.zip has a lot of java source in it,
but no C-language files like the ones used to generate the other
platform-dependent code (launcher and libcore.so); where else can I look?

Thanks in advance.
