Hi,

I believe all the source jars were moved to eclipse-pde[1], though I
suspect you ought to have that installed already based on the "system
info" in your email.

However, I cannot see any org.eclipse.swt*.source_*.jar in any of the
packages, which is presumably the cause of your issue.  :)  Have you
noticed any other missing source jars (that is, any "non-SWT" classes
without sources)?
