Please go ahead and make a bug report
for this.  Paste in the contents of this message.  We can discuss
the details there.  Please be patient as the people who own the SWT
build process are not all around right now.

Hi there,

I have seen that 3.3 has been released. Good work! I especially noticed,
that
the native libs are somehow included into the jar and do not need to be
added to
the library path. Thats really great and makes SWT easier to use anywhere.

In my open-source project I am using SWT and also I am using maven. Therefore
I
would like to ask if you are willing to care about the distribution of
the SWT
releases via the maven repository.

I also figured out how to configure a dependency on SWT with maven such
that
maven chooses the right platform-specific one according to the running
OS (can
still be overriden via the commandline for cross builds).

So if you are interested, I would offer some help in making SWT most easy
to use
for maven users.

BTW: I would propose to change the groupId from 'swt' to 'org.eclipse.swt'
for
new releaes (beginning with 3.3) what would be compatible with your package
namespace and the maven philosophy of groupIds.

Any thoughts...

Regards
  Jörg
