This sort of question about using SWT should be posted to the
eclipse.tools newsgroup. This mailing list is for those who are
implementing SWT.
That said, since you said you are using SWT standalone and not JFace,
all you really need on your classpath is swt.jar. The other 4 jars
are not necessary. You will also need to provide the
java.library.path VM argument pointing to the location of the SWT .dll
file.
Hope this helps,
David
