[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT programs don't work for me after Sno

[J Michael Dean <mdean77@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may have been bitten by the 32 bit versus 64 bit issue.  Snow Leopard
uses a 64 bit JVM and unless you installed the 64 bit Cocoa Galileo, you
will have a problem with trying to load 32 bit SWT libraries in a 64 bit
JVM.  I solved this by installing a 64 bit Cocoa Galileo, which
unfortunately is not easy to find - go to the Eclipse Classic version at the
bottom of the downloads.  Then you have to add all the functionalities that
would have been in the RCP or JEEE versions, but it at least works.
