There is a easy fix for this. Look at the method new_Frame and you will  
see it yourself :)

Within SWT_AWT (org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.0.jar)

public static Frame new_Frame (final Composite parent) {
	if (parent == null) SWT.error (SWT.ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT);
	if ((parent.getStyle () & SWT.EMBEDDED) == 0) {
		SWT.error (SWT.ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT);
	}
	SWT.error (SWT.ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
	return null;
}

I read this as a no-go for the use of the SWT_AWT bridge on the Mac. There  
is a open bug for this  
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67384). Maybe there is a  
solution but I simply do not understand what they are talking about.
