XWT handles the static aspect and leaves the dynamic aspect to Java.
During the runtime, the XML representation is used only for create the
initial view. Java takes care of dynamic aspect by calling SWT/Jface. It
is always "live".

In tooling, we use a different concept. You can look at XWT editopr. We
don't modify the SWT Widget directly. All modifications pass thru only XML
resource.
