All, The openstack-java-client [1] looks to include a decent Swift client (a tutorial[2] is also available). It is also Apache v2 licensed. From my cursory review, it doesn't appear to support HTTP chunking (i.e. support for > 5GB objects) or progress reporting. However, the 4.1.x Swift integration does not support these features. As such, it could be a good starting point to provide parity with the current Swift integration facilities.
In general, I would much prefer using a purpose built client than an abstraction layer like jclouds for this type of work. We have a set of storage abstractions and adapting them to another set of storage abstractions just feels a bit ungainly. I think we could modify the openstack-java-client to include the missing features and end with much more maintainable result.
