I would also be more interested in porting SWT than Swing, but as you say, this is still an insane amount of work. The Interface Kit is much too incomplete to provide all features to an SWT port. For example, the browser component would need WebKit to be integrated into the Interface Kit, but even text layout is missing, since it is only available inside BTextView at the moment. That's not to mention that SWT includes and SWT/AWT bridge, which allows to embed Swing Frames into an SWT UI...
