If you're saying you're doing this on OS X I'd be a little curious as well as to how you launch?

Looking out of curiosity to see how this might work I can't seem to get the Cocoa Eclipse Helios version to load SWT.

(In part...)
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons: 
	Can't load library: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libswt-cocoa-3655.jnilib
	Can't load library: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libswt-cocoa.jnilib
	no swt-cocoa-3655 in java.library.path
	no swt-cocoa in java.library.path

This seems to have been a know issue...

snow leopard - How do I resolve no swt-cocoa-3557 or swt-cocoa in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file error?
