SWT

Standard Widget Toolkit. IBM’s toolkit similar to Swing, that they use in Eclipse. It is intermediate in complexity between AWT and Swing. It is considerably faster than Swing. It does not have full internationalisation support.

The easiest way to get SWT is to download Eclipse and then tell it you want to use SWT in a project.

Tools for SWT GUI design include:

Advanced Eclipse SWT Designer (Commercial) GUI designer plug-in for Eclipse. Free version also available.
SWT GUI Builder (Shareware) Has a Swing to SWT conversion facility.
V4ALL Eclipse GUI Designer (Open Source) Eclipse plugin for designing Java Swing & SWT GUIs and generating the code.
