Well, you only told me that you use the current swt-3.2.2. You didn't 
tell me if you compile for Windows or Linux and if you want a complete 
compilation of swt.jar or one which only uses references. Also I need to 
know about optimization or debugging info.
So there are 16 possibilities and each will be about 10mb. Not to think 
about each time you update swt or downgrade because of bugs in the 
current version.
So I really would prefer if you could compile it yourself. Anyway, I 
could compile one to get you started...

Yeah, ~400mb Ram might be a little less. But still it should do... Did 
you try to increase the swap (might be called "virtual RAM" on Windows)? 
One or two gb should do ;-)

You don't need to compile your application to native just to give SWT a 
try. Just run it in a usual JVM...

The same as your swt.jar.
