SWT: The Standard Widget Toolkit is a user interface library for Java maintained by the Eclipse Foundation. SWT uses native widgets wherever possible to provide a look and feel consistent with the host platform. SWT is a third-party library (not included in the JVM) and applications that rely on it must distribute the appropriate library for each target operating system.
