I would certainly recommend SWT. Its a nice toolkit and it works well 
with gcj.

Of course, there is a lot of Swing code out there, and for that reason 
we are working on adding Swing support to GNU Classpath & GCJ, but it 
will be a while before Classpath's Swing implementation is as mature as 
SWT is now. For new development I definitely think SWT is the way to go 
- whether porting is worthwhile for you probably depends on how much 
Swing code you have, how complex it is, and how much you like learning 
new GUI toolkits :)
