maven project: SWT 3.5 dependency: any official public repo?

Question

Well, in short, I may need to grab new SWT version instead of 3.3 we're using for now. The project now has only this dependency and builds fine:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32</groupId>
  <artifactId>x86</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.0-v3346</version>
</dependency>

AFAICGoogle, there is no more recent version in the public maven repo: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/swt/

So:

1. Is there some public maven repo with recent builds?
2. If not, where do you get the jars you install locally and/or in your corporate Nexus?
3. Any groupId/artifactId suggestions/conventions you know of?

TIA

PS: I am mostly a noob as to Eclipse products site layout and usually get lost in Google search results and/or the Eclipse site itself... so while the answer may be obvious for you it would likely not be so for me, even retrospectively.

Answer 1

I have created a maven repo for windows, Linux & osx artifacts at github:

https://github.com/maven-eclipse/swt-repo

To use it just put the following in your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>swt-repo</id>
        <url>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maven-eclipse/swt-repo/master/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then you can just reference the SWT dependency relevant to your platform. For example:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
        <artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86</artifactId>
        <version>4.4</version>
    </dependency>

For other platforms, just replace artifactId with the appropriate value:

• org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86
• org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64
• org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86
• org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64
• org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx
• org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64

In addition, artifacts for SWT 4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.3.0, 4.2.2, 4.2.1, 3.8, 3.7.2 & 3.5.1 are also available from this repository.

We use a selenium-based approach to automatically deploy the artifacts of new SWT versions as they are released. The source code for the automation is open and available on github:

Happy coding!
