For the few "games" I've made so far in java (they're really engine tests), I've been using Swing for the gui. I use Eclipse, and I've recently heard about its SWT library as well as its Visual Editor, and I was thinking of checking it out. I'm mainly interested in creating applications (not applets), and want my games to work on both Windows and Macintosh. So, has anyone here tried either one for java games?
