Error running EMF Ecore project as an Eclipse application on ARM/M3 architecture

Question

I recently moved from a windows machine to a MacbookPro M3 and I'm trying to run an EMF Ecore project I had on my previous machine as an Eclipse application on this new machine.

I downloaded the 2024-03 version of Eclipse Modeling Tools for ARM architectures, installed the JDK 21 and setup the build path. However when I try to run the project has an eclipse application I got this error:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in "org.eclipse.ui.ide.application" was unable to instantiate class "org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication".

Moreover, I can see these errors from the IDE:

- The type org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Event cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required type org.eclipse.jface.action.Action
    
- The type org.eclipse.swt.events.HelpListener cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required type org.eclipse.jface.action.Action

Of course the application was running fine on my windows machine, so I guess it's something related to the different OS. Any suggestion?

Thank you
