"But if you work in a team, you need to use what the other programmers use 
for a certain program."

Wouldn't go that far... half of my team is on J-Builder, of the remaining half 
about one third is on Eclipse and the remainder is using My Eclipse....

"SWING is better because it offers more type of controls and it is Java 
based. It doesn't depend on the platform the program runs on."

Java is the language that the Eclipse Community used to create both the Eclipse 
IDE and the SWT Widgets. Java is the wrapper around the native widgets and the 
end result is the SWT library.

"Because Java is made by Sun and Sun promotes SWING, SWING is prefered by 
most Java programmers. (Because most of the Java programmers also don't care 
too much about the accessibility issues in SWING.)."

I think you are missing the point of my previous messages, Eclipse indeed uses 
SWT and SWT applications can be created from the IDE... However Eclipse is not 
limited to just SWT... I've created web based apps that communicate from the 
web interface via Struts, query our main frame via Web Logic servers through a 
CICS region and all of that is accomplished with out SWT.

...because Sun promotes Java and SWING is a component of the same really 
doesn't qualify it as being the preferred GUI interface. I'll grant you that 
most of the developers use SWING but numbers alone don't justify it as being 
preferred. Some one once said "Quantity has a quality of its own... but quality 
has a quantity  of its own as well".
