Tuxguitar has been broken for a while, actually.  Even when the build
would succeed the programme wouldn’t work properly.

I have a WIP commit here with a rewrite of the Tuxguitar recipe using
the ant-build-system.  This actually worked for me last time I played
with it.  In a couple of days I’ll try to clean it up and submit it for
review.

There’s no need to revert your changes to java-swt.
