If you don't get an answer here I can point you to the albeiro-newsgroup
which deals with Swing/AWT-SWT integration problems and people might
know more about the issues you can run into.

I would also suggest that your message title could have been better by
integrating Swing so people from this project skimming the newsgroups
take a look at your question.

I copied your request to this newsgroup.

See http://www.eclipse.org/albireo/
