There are issues with SWT and AWT on Mac.
For Windows you would need: SWT for Windows = X64, X86 version where it still depends if you want to bundle them each to a different distribution or to include them both. For the later case you have to manually load the correct library. For Unix ... I do not know if different X11 GUI (KDE, GNOME, etc) need a different SWT implementation. For each such implementation you still need the 32/64 Bit Version again ? ( I do not know if it is possible to load 32 Shared Object files into 64 Bit address space. Windows does not allow that). For MAC I do not know the details. Conclusion: It is not that simple.
