Personally, I would stick with Swing, because it is not subject to
Microsoft's whims of changing the API. Why? Because only the lowest level
functions for creating a window actually use native API calls in Swing.
Everything else, including buttons, lists, internal frames, etc., are all
written in Java itself, and have no interaction with the underlying
Windows API.

That means it is going to be a lot safer when Microsoft decides to make
the Win32 API go away. It's going to come depricated in Longhorn in favor
of the WinFX API, which basically means the Win32 API will gradually be
phased out of service.
