Description Paul Webster CLA 2010-08-25 08:09:52 EDT 
When I download swt-3.5-gtk-linux-x86.zip I can follow http://www.eclipse.org/swt/eclipse.php and import it into eclipse to create an org.eclipse.swt project that I can develop against.

The 3.6 versions no longer contain the .classpath or .project files, and cannot be imported.

I downloaded swt-3.6-gtk-linux-x86.zip and swt-3.6-win32-win32-x86.zip from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/index.php#SWT

This change might have been in response to the ability of swt to extract and load its own native libs.

But then the doc really needs to be update to tell people what they need to do.

do you know what could have changed to create this problem ?
Comment 4 Silenio Quarti CLA 2010-08-25 10:28:50 EDT 
Fixed > 20100825.

The files were removed between revision 1.6 and 1.7 of buildFragment.xml. There was no good reason to remove them.

Does this fix apply for both HEAD and R3_6_maintenance?
Comment 6 Silenio Quarti CLA 2010-08-25 10:47:02 EDT 
It is not in 3.6.1 yet. I will see if I can include it for RC3. I do not see any problem, since it does not affect eclipse itself. It only changes the SWT standalone zip.

The previous patch was generated wrong.
Comment 9 Silenio Quarti CLA 2010-08-25 12:43:41 EDT 
The patch has been released to R3_6_maintenance and the SWT projects have been tagged. So we are ready if there is a rebuild for RC2, otherwise I will ask for PMC approval for RC3.
