Eclipse SWT for Maven Users - Dev Version

This repo is for the dev milestone (M) and release candidate (RC) versions. See the main repository for stable releases

SWT is not available in Maven Central making it difficult to use in Maven projects. Existing maven repos are either not maintained and abandoned, don't have all platforms, don't contain sources, don't contain debug jar, or don't automate downloading and extracting the JARs.

This repo contains SWT 4.5+ on all supported platforms

Why?

Eclipse has an open bug report to to publish SWT to Maven however its been stalled since 2007: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=199302

Currently the only available automated downloader is swt-release-fetcher which only supports the latest release and is very complex. This has been replaced with a much simpler and more flexible bash script that you can even use to setup your own independent repo

As of creating this project, existing public SWT maven repositories are not usable

How to use

If you were using swt-repo on Google Code this is a drop in replacement

Add this to your pom.xml:

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>maven-eclipse-repo-dev</id>
		<url>http://maven-eclipse.github.io/dev-releases/maven</url>
	</repository>
</repositories>

Then add dependencies for each platform you wish to support. The most common are

<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86</artifactId>
		<version>${swt.version}</version>
    <!-- To use the debug jar, add this -->
    <classifier>debug</classifier>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64</artifactId>
		<version>${swt.version}</version>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86</artifactId>
		<version>${swt.version}</version>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64</artifactId>
		<version>${swt.version}</version>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64</artifactId>
		<version>${swt.version}</version>
