Hi, has I know, the gui field in java is something "end" for sun. AWT and 
SWING aren't updated with new features for long ago. In the other side SWT is 
only a wrapper of GUI frameworks (carbon in MACOS, GTK in linux and native in 
windows).
qt jambi is not dead, but has some troubles in their maintenance.

If you need something quick to learn an develop and your app lifecicle is less 
that 3 years, go with qt jambi. if not, go with SWT.

P.D: decouple well your app, from the GUI framework.
