But first you have to locally install the application, ensure you have a compatible JRE, fix your classpath if you have multiple JRE's installed. Next you often don't have working copy/paste between native applications and swing apps, are the swing apps slow, don't support drag'n drop between the OS and the swing application, etc. I tend to like native apps much better than Java apps. And in several cases, I like web apps even more than respective native GUI apps (gmail, bug trackers, viewvc, etc).
