You haven't read the Readme :-)

From the Readme:

How to run a SWT application

- If you launch a SWT based application on MacOS X it does not behave 
like a 'normal'
   Mac application: it has no icon in the dock, no menu bar and you 
cannot activate its windows.
   The script 'java' in 'SWT_JDK/bin' works arounds that problem.

- How to use the script:
   - adapt the value of the shell variable SWT_DLL.
   - within Eclipse create a new JRE 'SWT_JDK' in 
'Preferences/Java/Installed JREs' and
     make it point to the SWT_JDK folder.
   - When creating a new Launch or Debug Configuration on the JRE tab 
select your
     new 'SWT_JDK' instead of the standard one

Hope this helps,
