Indeed, for me SWT has got no more reasons to exist (apart from legacy, that is applications already using it). If you're writing a cool, end-user interface, as Mario says the trend is that you don't need native L&F. If you're developing industrial applications, L&F is not important (apart from the effectiveness) and Swing is appreciated for versatility and no need of extra native libs. That's why many industrial applications use the NetBeans Platform ;-) Forgot to say that SWT has been a source of pain (not ended yet) on Mac OS X, even though not for SWT fault. PS Can somebody tell me whether SWT has got native hardware acceleration? -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
