title: What should I choose SWT or Swing to program GUI in Java?
body: <p>I need to create a GUI application in Java. I just realized that I have different optional ways to go (SWT and Swing are among them).</p>
  
  <p>I have already found out that there is a lot of discussions about what way is better and I do not want to go to deep into these discussions (I am a newbie).</p>
  
  <p>I do not care about all aspects of the dilemma. I just have a few main requirements listed bellow:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>It should be easy to use (easy to create what I want).</li>
  <li>In the end I would like to have just one file which can be easily executed (without any additional tricks, settings and installations) like a standalone application.</li>
  <li>It should be platform independent. Or more specifically, the application should work fine on Microsoft-Windows and Ubuntu (Linux).</li>
  </ol>
