Haven't done much in way of UI with java (i.e. SWT/swing), but curious what your particular need is? I've done lots in terms of just straight java (utilities pertaining to data processing/parsing, command line stuff, academia stuff, etc). If all you're doing is learning java, then this might be the way to go since all you need is "javac <filename>" and then "java filename" to run a basic program.
