Building natives (at least for Linux and if you have all headers installed) is as easy as doing `mvn clean verify -Dnative=gtk.linux.x86_64` . I'm not sure whether this is hooked in for non-linux platforms but if there are people interested doing it in the way it's done for Linux should be quite easy.

If you're interested in building @eclipse.org that would involve having all target platforms available as vms for the builds. Contacting Arun Thondapu(who is currently doing the native rebuilds) is probably best step regarding what machines and what setup on them is needed @eclipse.org for doing builds there.
