[news.eclipse.platform] Re: JUnit and SWT

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Daniel,

The -Djava.library.path thing should work, as long as you set its value to
the directory that contains the swt libraries.

As an alternative, this is no longer required as of 3.3M4 because swt will
auto-extract and find its libraries at runtime if needed.  If you're able to
use a 3.3-stream milestone build instead of 3.2.x one that you're using then
this should just work.
