Tom and José have everything explained in detail.

If you plan to develop a commercial product than you should choose between
Swing and SWT, both have all what you need.

It depends on your skills and your time.


QT(Jambi) has better components than Swing and is easy to use and also
good for commercial products. The problem is that the community still needs
some time to handle all "without" nokia.

We are only at the beginning.

There's also another framework with which you can develop UI independent
applications.
It's called JVx and is developed by my company.

It's designed to create enterprise applications, with databases. The UI is
technology independent
and interfaced based. An implementation for Swing exists.
We also developed a QT Jambi implementation (the first beta will be released
in January 2010).

The only problem, now, is that the webpage is German, and the English
translation is not finished.

You can try out the demo applications which are available in English
(http://www.sibvisions.com/de/jvxmdemo),
and the image: http://www.sibvisions.com/de/jvxmdokumentation/85-jvxsysarch
shows the system architecture.
