The 'Exported with compile warnings' messages mean some of your code does not compile cleanly. Eclipse should be showing you warnings about this (unless the warnings have been turned off).

When running on Mac OS X you must specify the -XstartOnFirstThread option on your java command to ensure the correct thread is used by SWT. This will fix the 'Display must be created on main thread due to Cocoa restrictions' error. This error is not related to the compile warnings messages.
