I've found out that changing the jar ordering makes it compile the
application without crashing, it's just a matter of putting swt.jar 
before org.eclipse.jface_3.1.1.jar -> it seems that the jars must be
provided so that each jar dependencies are completely satisfied by
the previous jars in the classpath (this is not required by the standard
java runtime).

Unfortunately the generated executable (26 MB!!!) does not work as
expected, it starts and exits right away without displaying anything...

Suggestions?
