You might start why you choose java over any other language. Is
portability is a key factor, then swing is the obvious choice for the
toolkit, since SWT, albeit available on major platforms, is not
available on all, you need a native version of it for every platform.
Once you choosen the toolkit, rulling one RCP over the other is easy.
BUT (there is always a but), in swing, you can choose from netbeans
platform and spring richclient framework :-)
