Hi Andreas,

1. Put the swt jar on your classpath with a command like: javac -cp
C:\swt.jar win32\Main.java

2. See
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M6-200803301350/details.php#SWT .

3. Assuming you're using swt 3.3 or newer, just distribute your app + the
swt jar for the target platform.  So if you want to support three platforms
then you'll have three distributables, one with your app + the swt jar for
win32, one with your app + the swt jar for linux, etc.

If any of these steps give you problems then please follow up here.
