hi Joseph,

1) It is your choice how many classes to use, but I would recommend one 
per form.

2) You can build the GUI strictly by coding in the text editor, but if 
you'd like to use a visual GUI designer, consider WindowBuilderPro 
(http://www.windowbuilderpro.com/).

3) See the javadoc for java.lang.Thread 
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html) and take 
caution in how your background thread interacts with the UI 
(http://help.eclipse.org/help30/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/swt_threading.htm).
