This would all be very simple to migrate to Swing, and all of the names
of the Swing components relate to the names of the AWT components which
they mimic.  Rather than an awt.Panel you would use a swing.JPanel. 
Rather than a TextArea, you would use a JTextArea, or JTextPane (they
have different abilities, and I personally perfer the Pane, though it is
a little more tricky to implement).

Since the xtable UI is very simple now, I think the transition to Swing
would be a very fast process, and mostly just adding a J in front of the
AWT object names :).
