.... soooort of ... By that I mean that SWT is not changing, so  
there's nothing that you can't already do now.  SWT is just written  
against Carbon instead of Cocoa right now.  The only things that will  
really be different are 1) if you work on the SWT source itself, it's  
probably much nicer (objc vs c, that's nice) and 2) now that basic  
technique is down, it's probably easier to write Java wrappers for  
additional Obj-C libraries to do bridging, but that's not really SWT,  
just the tools they made for SWT.
