Yes I know that SWT is accessible, but it is not prefered by most Java programmers, maybe because it is not based only on Java, or maybe because the number of SWT widgets is not very big.
I asked about what should we do for making a SWING program accessible because I've made a kind of Hello world program using SWING, but I didn't do something special and I didn't use special plugins, however the program was accessible with Java Access Bridge.... Well, kind of accessible, because Java Access Bridge doesn't offer full accessibility like the native controls do.

I use SWT from Eclipse / IBM to create my user interface and don't have to concern my self with anything but programming because the SWT Tool Kit is fully accessible with out extra coding.

There has to be underlying code written as well as several add ins installed.
So, if the developers didn't take the time to developed in an accessible manner, then your stuck in the mud for a good long time mate.
