OK, I hunted around, and from here and from there I seem to have found
the answer.

First, the zip file with the Java and native libraries can be
donwloaded from: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/

I downloaded, and unzipped.

Given that I had the extracted binaries in the directory swt-
M20070112-1330-gtk-linux-x86, I compile and run with the following
commands:

javac -classpath "swt-M20070212-1330-gtk-linux-x86/swt.jar:."
TestSWT.java
java -classpath "swt-M20070212-1330-gtk-linux-x86/swt.jar:." -
Djava.library.path=swt-M20070212-1330-gtk-linux-x86 TestSWT

and I get a "hello world" GUI window appear on my screen. Job done.
Maybe.
