You may need to fix up classpaths (at worst). I can't confirm this works, but this is where I would start.
As Tao Chen mentioned already, SWT isn't installed by default with the JRE. Theoretically, you'll have it if you install the SUNWswt package, and I suspect you'll have 95%+ of Java apps covered this way (I only know of one other app that uses SWT -- Eclipse). If worse comes to worse, you can look in to the alternate distribution channels for packages -- OpenCSW and Blastwave. The later, at least, has IPS support, so you should have little trouble installing. I also would be surprised if you have much trouble over and above downloading Java programs, unarchiving them, and just running them. That you ran into trouble with Azureus is unfrotunate, but I believe that's an exceptional case. I do know SWT has been, historically, a hit-or-miss thing on (Open)Solaris. I am pretty confident with a little elbow grease, you can get SWT built by hand if that package doesn't do the trick. If you have success getting Azureus to work after installing SUNWswt, do us a huge favor and report back?
