Avalon is a component framework ("period"). It can be used on either the
client or server side. However, at this time there are no containers
light-weight enough to be suitable for the client side,
what makes you say that? Some examples...
* http://d-haven.sourceforge.net/guiapp/ is an avalon-fortress+swing-based, well, GUI framework;
* http://www.jesktop.org/ is a phoenix-based, well, java desktop. I don't think it is in active development anymore;
* the Equinox people (who build the core for Eclipse) gave serious consideration to basing their stuf on avalon (avalon-merlin).
any well-designed (imho) gui application will have large parts of its functionality that are non-gui-specific. Avalon is a good candidate for filling in some of that functionality.
Yes, it should be quite possible to build an swt-based app using avalon. Something to look at may be the merlin plugin for eclipse that's in development (in the avalon-sandbox cvs). Not sure though.
cheers!
