(SWT) The Eclipse Foundation' s framewORk fOR developing graphical user interfaces in Java. SWT is written in explicitly standard Java but uses the {Java Native Interface} to talk to a {platfORm}-native GUI library. SWT is the third majOR attempt to give Java a decent GUI framewORk, following AWT and Swing. Of the three, SWT is the most consistent with the native GUIs but its programming model is hard to pORt to non-Windows platfORms. Wikipedia . (2004-12-21)
