That's unfortunate.

That could be tricky if the system SWT isn't the same level but if it
works ... :)

Do you also patch them out of the features that include them?

Yeah, the lack of OSGi-ified dependencies will always be a PITA.

We're glad it's useful for you :)

This will likely have to remain a Gentoo-local patch.

Have you considered offering this to the Equinox team? Andrew Niefer is
a good guy and will take patches that make sense.
Thanks for the explanation, Matt.
