using a different AWT  #3

Description

This is more an 'app/build note':
I had an old linux installation which needs a different AWT jar library

it turns out there is a separate SWT repository for eclipse under the group org.eclipse.platform
https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.eclipse.platform
e.g. I modified the profile-<OS>.gradle file accordingly (this is an example for linux 64)

dependencies {
//    implementation('org.eclipse.swt:org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64:4.3')
    implementation('org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64:3.126.0') {
    	exclude group: 'org.eclipse.platform', module: 'org.eclipse.swt'
    }
}

note that the version 3.126.0 may not be necessarily suitable for one's OS environment, one need to find a version that works if one diagnose the errors to be strictly an SWT issue.

I managed a build that way by substituting the swt implementation.
it may not necessary solve one's problem, but leaving a note here just in case it helps.
