I saw on www.eclipse.org that they built SWT on top of awt using gtk/gtk2 peers (or motif). Thus I was thinking (I am still looking for something to work on in Classpath) is it legal to build Swing op top SWT?

Legal: why not?
Possible: No.
Why: Swing is too flexible to be built on top of another complex toolkit.
