SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) is a Java open source GUI toolkit. It's part of the (IBM sponsored) Eclipse platform and an alternative to using Sun's Java AWT or Swing toolkits. The main difference (advantage?) is that SWT integrates with the native platform's windowing toolkits (for Linux it supports motif,GTK and QT), which usually makes it faster and integrates better with the look and feel of the other running applications/desktop.
