I went to the relevant build.xml file, commented the code and do what the task should do (if I recall it was because of a chmod or something) > Total time: 14 minutes 24 seconds After a lot of tries, Eclipse did build... but without javadoc which seems badly broken on ibm's jdk. > I have installed a number of GTK libraries hoping that would help > matters, but so far no success.

I noticed that only the swt bindings are natives (and the launcher), so I did try to build the bindings (it's explain in the faq[1]).
