The SWT plugin was changed to the new plugins-as-jar format, which
means that as a plugin we're just one .jar file which includes the
.class and .so files. I think this also changed for the SWT only
download so that we're just one .jar file now, which makes much more
sense.
I'm a little mystified about how this might work. Shared libraries
are memory mapped files, so they're little use inside a .jar file. I
guess the .so is put somewhere at installation?
