There is no Linux version available. There is one planned, but no code has been submitted yet.
The Linux version requires a complete conversion of the GTK+ SWT Java Source. This is a big process and pretty much means starting the conversion over again for the Linux platform (albeit with a good reference of how to do it coming fom the win32 side). I'm hoping to get started on this shortly (although I keep saying that ); but at the moment I've got my hands full with some other projects. If there's a few knowledgeable people helping out on the GTK+ version, I think we can get the Linux port moving fairly quickly. Furthermore, that GTK+ port may be useful for other platforms as well.
I think DWT will really show it strength if we succeed in getting such a port completed.
