Would GIT submodules be a good idea?

Looking a little closer at the stuff, I've remembered part of DWT is a 
port of Java, and looks like part of Eclipse.

My thought would be that those are separate porting efforts, and you'd 
have dwt (which includes the the Windows and Linux code together, ie the 
swt source) which has the Java/Eclipse ports as submodules.

Though it seems that DWT isn't laid out the same as SWT 3.8's repo:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/

Anyway, I hope I'm contributing to you making a decision rather than just 
adding confusion.
