SWT + Maven + Eclipse = java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-carbon-3346 or swt-carbon in swt.library.path

I am trying to get a hello world SWT application going:

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
    Display display = new Display ();
    Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.open ();
    while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
        if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
    }
    display.dispose ();
}

But I keep getting the following exception. I have the macosx version of org.eclipse.swt.carbon being used with eclipse/maven. Has anyone seen this before?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-carbon-3346 or swt-carbon in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file

SWT is implemented using native UI libraries - in this case, the Mac Carbon libraries - and requires some JNI code to marshal the SWT calls to the native Carbon calls. Loading JNI libraries is a little bit different than normal classloading (the dynamic libraries must first be loaded with System#loadLibrary).

First, if you're on a 64 bit machine, make sure that you're passing the -d32 argument to the JRE. (ie, java -d32 MyTestClass). The Carbon SWT libraries are 32 bit only and will not load on a 64 bit runtime.

By default, SWT tries to load the .jnilib dynamic libraries from a JAR file in your classpath - the library libswt-carbon-3346.jnilib should be in your org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx... JAR. SWT will try to unzip this jnilib from your JAR into a temporary location and load that.

If it can't do this for whatever reason (java.io.tmpdir isn't writable, for example) then this will fail. To work around this, you should extract libswt-carbon-3346.jnilib from the org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx JAR and follow the instructions that the exception provided. (For example, set swt.library.path to the location of that jnilib.)

Unrelated to your actual question: you're using SWT 3.3. A lot of changes have been made since then, including the (likely preferable) Cocoa support. Upgrading to the newest SWT libraries in the newest Eclipse may be very helpful.
