Hi Laurent,

Thank you for spotting this. I started migrating some of the packages to
swt4-gtk, so far it was as simple as switching the dependency and
replacing /usr/share/java/swt.jar with /usr/share/java/swt4.jar in the
build scripts.

The remaining packages are:

 androidsdk-tools
 azureus
 bnd (pending)
 eclipse
 openjfx
 piccolo (not team maintained)
 tuxguitar

I'll switch azureus, bnd and openjfx but I'll need some help for the
others. eclipse can be ignored until it's upgraded to the latest version.
