Java 6 and Eclipse RCP/SWT



Dear List,

I have to port/integrate a Swing application to Eclipse RCP using the Swing SWT brigde. Unfortunately the Swing code relies on some Java 6 features. The problem is, that Java 6 is 64 bit only and the SWT implementation of/for Eclipse is only 32 bit (Carbon).

As I understand SWT/Cocoa should work since it will provide 64 bit compatibility but there is no official release of Eclipse RCP/Cocoa (yet?).

Does anyone know the status of SWT/Cocoa or was able to solve the problem running Eclipse with Java 6?
I'm going to give Soylatte in 32 bit a try but I'd like to use Apple's VM since it is stable and faster and does not rely on X11.


Ars Technica is talking about 2009 :-(

Thanks in advance,
 Stefan
