Since I don't know how the build process works,
I don't know how to answer your question.

What I know is:
- the sources for the MacOS X version of SWT are part of the 
org.eclipse.swt project,
- building the dll and swt.jar is probably the same as for any other platform,
- I don't have a Eclipse.exe for MacOS X yet, however in order to get a 'real'
  MacOS X application of Eclipse it is necessary to set up a 
directory hierarchy as follows:

  Eclipse 2.0.app
     Info.plist
     MacOS
        Eclipse
     PkgInfo
     Resources
        Eclipse.icns
        Java
           <here starts the normal Eclipse tree>
           ...
        MRJApp.properties

  On MacOS X this hierarchy will appear as a single executable 'Eclipse 2.0'.
  The files Info.plist, Eclipse, PkgInfo, Eclipse.icns, and 
MRJApp.properties are constant,
  so they can be extracted from an archive file
  (supplied as an attachment to the original posting).
  All the Java files and folders of a regular Eclipse distribution go into
  the 'Java' subfolder;
  the Readme folder and the copyright files must be copied into the directory
  containing the Eclipse 2.0 application.


Please let me know what I can do to help you in setting this up.
Thanks,
