I am not sure, but this is what I would do in %{_prefix}/lib/java:

swt-gtk-3.2.2.jar ->
../../../usr/lib64/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64_3.2.2.v3236.jar
swt-gtk-3.2.jar -> swt-gtk-3.2.2.jar

Yes, we can find examples where jars are actually arch-dependent. Come
on, they are bundling binary code, so of course they are.

That doesn't mean that they aren't completely wrong in doing so. These
libraries should really be unbundled and one swt.jar shared across all
archs. A jar bundling binary code? If we allow this, what's next?
