GeoTools is a spatial library responsible for accessing the data, and drawing 
it. It does provide a bit of SWT code to help with the tutorials, but that is 
not intended as a desktop GIS. 

If you would examples of how to edit as a developer look at the FeatureStore 
API, you can use it to update the Geometry for a feature.

If you need to edit JTS Geometry it is a bit more tricky (often you end up 
taking a copy of the co-ordinates into your own data structure for interactive 
editing).

Have a look at the Open Jump project (Swing based) and uDig project (SWT based) 
for examples.

Note our gt-swing module does support very simple tools, and you could create 
edit tools if interested following the above examples. As of yet nobody has 
volunteered to write this functionally for the community.
