No worries, Matt. On Debian, I maintain a stand-alone version of SWT
that is not part of Eclipse, named libswt-gtk-3.1-java. My package
does not have the bug of depending on mozilla, but the package
libswt3.1-gtk-java from Eclipse does. It's unfortunate that there are
two versions of SWT in Debian at the moment. Unfortunately, there are
a few unresolved technical issues.

Cheers,
Shaun
