XUL is also an alternative, or am I missing something ? (at least if you 
wish to setup things quickly, and run your app in an application server 
context - eg. servlets and a Mozilla client).

Note there is an interesting point of view concerning the choice of 
java-related libraries on http://viva.sourceforge.net/action.html (the 
"boycott swing" tab is rather polemic but they have good arguments and 
list alternatives).

My 2 cents, I'm not involved in Osmose...
