Nino, Swing has a familiar programming model, is very flexible, extensible, powerful and robust. You can also make use of all the core and open-source Java libraries you already know. If the target client machines have a JRE why use anything else.
Using Swing would also open up various deployment options like Web Start. I've used AWT's Robot (although I think it may have been in the last century!) as well with good success for an RMI based shared whiteboard.
