Your app (minus SWT) should be binary portable. You could
develop & test on Windows, and then periodically either
export the app and copy it along with the SWT jar and
library to the Linux platform to test, or you could have
someone load your project from the repository in an Eclipse
workspace on Linux, and test from within Eclipse.

Your installer will need to include both the SWT jar and the
.dll/.so file for that particular platform. There are cross
platform installer tools like InstallAnywhere that help you
manage multiple platforms with different file needs. Or a
simpler approach would be a custom Ant build script that
creates two different zip files, one each for Windows and
Linux, that contain the appropriate files for that platform.
