Hello All,
I am new to Eclipse and have many questions.
My question here is: What are the advantages / disadvantages of
using SWT over SWING? Are the components different or better?
I am not familiar with ant but is this the only way to deploy a client
swing program? If so I could use some direction..
Thanks in advance...

Yes, so true ;-) That noted, I *personally* prefer SWT over SWING
because of it's native looks (on Linux especially), and because of it's
light weight (you can build very fast interfaces in SWT). Think of it as
an advanced or modern version of AWT.
But basically, check out eclipse.org, and try it! Then decide for yourself.

No, you can just build using the command line java compiler or eclipse's
build in "Run ..." command. Ant however is a very powerfull build tool
and it's worth to find out how it works. A good place to start is
http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html -> Using Ant
