  Tutorial: SwingWT - The Swing API over SWT library

SwingWT is a 100% pure Java library which aims to be a free implementation of Swing and AWT. Unlike Swing, it drives native peer widgets for your platform from SWT. SwingWT offers many benefits: * More responsive GUIs and faster startup times

Tutorial Details:

* Developers deploying to *nix/Win32 can compile natively with GCJ and the applications can be distributed without a VM. Linux distribution makers could package many existing Java/Swing applications that previously could not be distributed in workable state.
* SWT components can be directly accessed through the API, allowing mix and match (make Eclipse plugins with Swing!)
* All platform benefits such as font sub-pixel decimation for LCD monitors (unavailable in Swing)
* Use Swing on mobile devices!
* The best of both worlds! New Swing components for JClosableTabbedPane, JCoolBar, JTaskTrayItem..
* Insulation from changes to the SWT APIs
* Insulation from differences between SWT platforms
