Okay; I've been doing some more investigation and that seems to be what
is going on.

Thanks for the response.

I believe this is done at the native window system level: The SWT dialog
is realized as a modal dialog in the underlying window system, and
therefore
blocks all windows of the same application, regardless whether they were
constructed by SWT or by AWT.

In the opposite direction it's different because modal AWT dialogs are
normal
(non-modal) windows at the native window level.

At least that's my understanding.
