It sounds like "true Java VM" you are really talking about a Java runtime
complete with libraries. If Swing looks and feels awkward now on a PC, it's
going to be down right ridiculous on a tablet...

If *developers* feel fine with Swing when they work with NetBeans or IntelliJ IDEA on a regular computer, I don't see why they should have problems on a tablet. At least, say, for a couple of years, while a better integration can be developed.

For what concerns performance, I don't know. But I don't think it would be a problem since tablets are hardware accelerated for video performance. If I'm not wrong they run OpenGL and Swing has got OpenGL bindings since some time.
