The base CEF version (3.1750) hasn't been updated for a long time. 3.1750 is stable, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put this project in some repo without enough maintenance in the future. Updating to later version (2526) was difficult due to changes in finding resource paths. Hopefully I would have time to try the current latest version again.
This is my personal project. I aimed to release once a year, but I didn't have enough time to achieve this. Considering that CEF upstream releases every 2 months, things get outdated quickly.
I had a bintray account for binary releases, and it shouldn't take too much time to write packaging scripts for 3.1750. Contributions are also welcome.

I agree! You've built something really valuable, but I think it's not getting used to its potential because
- A lot of people who want it don't have the skills to build their own binaries
- People are worried that there isn't a team around it to keep it up-to-date
I'd like to help you grow your project to reach a bigger audience. If your project became the seed of "swt-chromium", hosted on eclipse.org with their build infrastructure, would that make you happy or sad?
3.1750 hasn't been updated for a long time
For anyone else who didn't know, 3.1750 was released June 2014, and supports Chromium 33. Current Chromium is 54. Some notable improvements between 33 and 54:
- 35: shadow DOM (I believe critical to newer js frameworks like react)
- 39: 64-bit mac support (critical because SWT is now 64-bit only on mac)
- 40 & 41: 113 security issues
2526 which you've started would bring us to Chromium 47. Looks like latest stable chromium is 2704 which has Chromium 51.
This is my personal project.
Would you consider making it a semi-professional personal project? I know lots of SWT users who really want this. How much money would we need to raise for you find the time to get it updated? If possible, I'd love to chat in realtime, my contact info is in my profile.

It looks like @inaauto has made some progress on 3.2526 as well:

Just wanted to let you know that Texas Instruments has open sourced their Chromium SWT embed, and if you'd like you can take a look here.
I've done my best to compare your work to TI's here. It looks like your project has the best build system and compatibility with more modern versions of CEF3, and TI's implementation has some features that JavaCEF doesn't have yet (e.g. execute java and javascript in the browser).
So that's how far along I am. I'd love your help and/or comments if you've got time, but of course I understand if you're busy :)

Just FYI, the eclipse foundation has raised money to build an officially-supported SWT Browser based on embedded Chromium. It is taking bids on the project from qualified developers (Jingyi is as-qualified as possible for this effort, I believe). If Jingyi is not able to find time, however, anyone can bid to complete the project, or to make a directed donation to the eclipse foundation which will go towards reviving the SWT Browser with a modern embedded Chromium. It's called FEEP (Friends of Eclipse Enhancement Program).
Bids for this cycle are required by December 23, 2016.
