Actually, there are separate SWT-only builds posted on the "Other 
downloads for 3.1.1" page 
(http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.1.1-200509290840) 
under the heading "SWT Binary and Source". I can't vouch for them 
having been built using a separate process pulling the sources 
directly from CVS, however, as I'm no expert at the build system. 
Is this what you were looking for?
