sorry, you're right, but AWT/Swing are supposed to be available an any 
platform on which java is available (OK, a java-handy won't offer any 
AWT/Swing  - so i hope you know what i mean)

I wouldn't like to have two GUI.
One GUI to write and bugfix is enough.

I didn't find any page, where SWT is offered for download.
I didn't find a page with SWT's license either.

I know that it comes with eclipse, but is this the only way of getting SWT?

If i would have to choose between Swing/AWT and SWT, i would choose SWT 
because it seems fast and quite solid (as far as i can tell by esing 
eclipse).
So i would migrate everything to SWT, and drop the Swing-GUI.
