This doesn't say anything about setting up the "lib" directory, but
it's definitely required (I guess it's implied by "installed the J9 VM
in the folder \j9).  For more information on J9, I suggest you go to
the ibm.software.websphere.studio.device-developer newsgroup on
news.software.ibm.com.

This mailing list is specifically for the development of SWT, not for
the usage of it; the eclipse newsgroups are a better location for this
sort of discussion.
