I folded eclipse-gtk2 into eclipse-platform to reduce the sub-package
count.  The libswt3-gtk2 package still contains just SWT stuff so you can
run SWT apps with just that installed.  If someone does decide to do the
work to have motif sub-packages (or fox ones), then I guess whatever used
to be in eclipse-gtk2 will have to be resurrected and similar -motif and
-fox packages will need to be created.
