[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Using SWT/JFace to build Fat-Client App

[mwai@xxxxxxx (Mark)]

I don't know if I am posting to the right newsgroup or not.  If not,
please ignore this message.

We have an existing fat-client application that needs to be rewritten in
Java.  One of the biggest debate/concern is whether we should use Swing or
not(due to its poor reputation).

I have done some research and reading on Eclipse, SWT and JFace and they
seem to be a good alternative to Swing.  Architecturally, it seems to be
more well-thought also.  But I can not find any UI builder(not even in
WebSphere Studio) that is build around SWT and JFace (something that looks
like VA Smalltalk would be nice :-)).  

So my first question is, is there any commercial quality SWT/JFace UI
builder available?  Secondly, for building fat-client application, is
SWT/JFace the right choice or choose we just go straight to Swing(I know
this last question is highly debatable)?

Thanks
