I did find Eclipse SWT on some resumes but I am not sure what it is. I know SWT is a component of RCP so I wasn't sure if that is something I should be looking for or not. Can anyone explain this to me???

SWT a widget toolkit for creating GUIs.

Yes, it is something you should be looking for.  While Swing experience 
would work, SWT is somewhat different.  A good Swing developer should 
grasp SWT.  I would think you would typically see SWT and RCP together 
on resumes.  But SWT can be used outside of Eclipse.  Doing RCP 
applications is different than stand alone SWT applications.  But again, 
 a good SWT developer should be able to grasp RCP applications pretty 
easily.
