What is Standard Widget Toolkit?

The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) is an open source widget toolkit for Java designed to provide efficient, portable access to the user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is implemented. SWT provides a thin user-interface API that is implemented uniformly on multiple platforms to build rich graphical user interface (GUI) applications. The implementation is based on thin native wrappers for the underlying operation system user-interface APIs.Therefore, SWT applications tend to look and feel like native applications.

SWT is used in multiple applications, of which the Eclipse IDE is the most popular one.

SWT was originally developed at IBM and is now maintained by the Eclipse Foundation.
