This .jar is the upstream archive. It's like asking how to recreate gtk+-2.6.7.tar.gz ;) It's always important to investigate the contents of archives, but I dont think this case is really anything special beyond that. Regardless, the CVS URL you posted earlier is the CVS repository for our homepage (www.eclipse.org/swt/) so I guess that's the upstream. I think I was incorrect earlier when I said these translations were contributed by IBM, seems that they were contributed by users for the most part. -Billy
