Thomas,
Thanks for your feedback.
It seems that there is important overlap
between these 2 frameworks. 
We certainly not be able to address
both. So, we need to study which is the best during the specification period
(ended sept 30th)

You might also want to consider HTMLUnit. There are partisans for each

I'd be glad to help, esp as Rational Developer gets past DCUT. Note
that abbot.swt has recently added GEF support: we can, e.g., drag nodes
off the palette, connect them, etc.
