You are not sure what technology you want to use, but want to create a prototype? Sound like a case for http://www.eclipse.org/pmf/ But it is "not there yet" and I don't think that you want it, but still it is "modelling" newsgroup ;)

You can try to install http://www.eclipse.org/vep/ (http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Update) it support SWT and Swing.
VE news group: eclipse.tools.ve


Most likely you will have some problems (installation or usage), so you would like to check commercials tools (both support SWT and Swing, there are some free non-commercial versions):

http://www.instantiations.com/windowbuilder/
or http://www.cloudgarden.com/jigloo/

Actually if you are not sure what to use, probably http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/gui-db.html fit your needs best.

I think this answered it. I will try VE, but if things get sticky then, perhaps Netbeans is better.

Thanks very much.
