Way cool, Scott.  Personally, I am only interested in the SWT building part.
I noticed on your Wiki notes that you will implement AWT/Swing first.  With
the prevalence of AWT/Swing builders out there (admittedly though not for
Eclipse), there are plenty of alternatives.  However, there are none for
SWT.  I would be interested to know what percentage of the group would use
the tool to build AWT/Swing apps vs. SWT apps.  My gut feel is that you
would benefit more people to implement the SWT builder first.

P.S. I got a chuckle out of the Michael Jackson comment.
