Re: [tycho-user] Support for 64-bit ARM Builds

[Christoph Läubrich <laeubi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are only like to use SWT, it seems there is an early access 
version available with

<environment>
<os>macosx</os>
<ws>cocoa</ws>
<arch>arm64</arch>
</environment>

but you would need to build a product without a native launcher then...
