I was really not asking for renaming the DWT project. I think the name
is ok. DWT started as a SWT port but now, there is much more else.

Changing the Symbol DWT back to SWT, well i never liked to rename it. It
is the same reason i never wanted to rename jface to dface. The source
is ported, but it is still SWT. And renaming is a bit like hiding the
origin, which is not what i want.

About the package name.
How would you map org.eclipse.osgi and org.osgi?
How to map non-eclipse packages?
