in SWT and JFace, you need to allocate and release handles to manage resources.
It's just one of those things that you need to be extra-vigilant about until you get the hang of it.

Eh, not necessarily so. The biggest difference, and one which I've found to be consistenly tricky when you're out of practice, is whereas in Swing, where GUI resource management is handled automatically, in SWT and JFace, you need to allocate and release handles to manage resources.
It's just one of those things that you need to be extra-vigilant about until you get the hang of it.
In a nutshell, SWT is a widget toolkit (buttons, menus, tables, trees, et al.), that uses native widgets to ensure precise desktop integration and best performance. JFace is an abstraction layer that rides on top of SWT--sort of an MVC layer. You can use SWT without using JFace, but in many cases JFace makes development easier.

Hi Alvin,
yes, SWT is only for desktop applications, so no applets!
