SWT : Java Glossary

SWT

SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit). IBM (International Business Machines) ’s toolkit similar to Swing, that they use in Eclipse. It is intermediate in complexity between AWT (Advanced Windowing Toolkit) 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 (Graphic User Interface) design include:

Advanced Eclipse SWT Designer (Commercial) GUI designer plug-in for Eclipse. Free version also available. Google bought out Instantiations. It looks at though they just did it just to destroy the competition.
V4ALL Eclipse GUI Designer (Open Source) Eclipse plug-in for designing Java Swing & SWT GUIs and generating the code.
