I don't know how to do that exactly, but

you might instead start at the Eclipse 3.1 M7 downloads page

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.1M7-200505131415/index.php

and choose either

> Source Build (Source in .zip) (instructions)
> Source Build (Source fetched via CVS) (instructions)

Either instructions will tell you

> resources, and scripts that build a particular version of Eclipse.

but you can still probably find a target that does what you want. In
the worst case, build all and discard all but SWT.
