Erm... SWT == cross platform UI bindings... with platform-specific implementations. That it's not included in the JRE just means it's less likely to be bloated and over-engineered. ;-)
But I'm not sure how this makes your point. And Limewire was based on Swing for a long time, as I recall, though I haven't used it in years. Or any flash application ever written. Or any web-app ever written except for those which were browser-specific... oh wait... I guess that's still most of them. (damn) Christian.
