Standard Widget Toolkit
SWT

   <java, graphics> (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.
