The two libraries are not the same and do not share the same goal.

SWT only uses gtk on *NIX platforms.  The goal of SWT is to provide
a cross platform widget toolkit that uses the native library on each
platform (win32 on Windows, GTK or Motif on *NIX, etc.).   Any form
of integration into the platform desktop is not portable.

Java-GNOME provides bindings for the libraries that make up the
GNOME stack (glib, atk, pango, gdk, gdk-pixbuf, gtk, libgnome,
libgnomeui, libgnome-canvas, libgconf, and libglade).  If you are
building applications for the GNOME desktop then you would
choose Java-GNOME.  Also, if you are building applications for
GTK then you would choose Java-GNOME.
