I want to create a desktop application, but do not want to use SWING. I have heard about of SWT as alternative to SWING. Any another solutions exists? And what do you recommend to use?

    What makes you not want to use Swing? That would help others propose alternatives. – justkt Mar 16 '11 at 18:01

    1) Accept answers to your questions. 2) Why do you not want to use Swing? Explaining why this is not a good option for you will give people a better idea of what to suggest. – unholysampler Mar 16 '11 at 18:01

  • In my opinion SWING is too bulky. To write simple things it requires writing a lot of routine code. Although it is possible misperception caused by the fact that I just do not can compare with any other framework, because havent experience. – Dmitriy Tarasov Mar 16 '11 at 19:01
  • Why do you write Swing in all uppercase. Is it some sort of abbreviation or are you shouting? – Steve Kuo Mar 17 '11 at 04:31

You can build an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), using SWT and JFace.

What about just AWT in java.util.awt and subpackages? You can use the older equivalents of Swing's components.
