SWT build dependency

[Tom Schindl]

Steve replied to me in private that you need to have the real SWT-Jars
for each and every platform because the automated test runs against them.

The Jar for the JavaFX supported platforms are:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7/R-3.7.2-201202080800/plugins/...
* org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.7.2.v3740f.jar
* org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.7.2.v3740f.jar
* org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64_3.7.2.v3740f.jar
* org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.7.2.v3740f.jar
* org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64_3.7.2.v3740f.jar

As a general note in this area.
a) bundling the swt bits with the javafxrt.jar is a problem when
   putting fx on the bootclasspath
b) wouldn't it be better if Oracle contributes the code to Eclipse.org,
   the SWT-Swing bridge is already part of SWT (in light of a this
   makes even more sense)
