what the relationship of AWT, SWT, Swing, JFace, anyone can give me a full
explanation? Thanks a lot.

AWT was the earliest UI from Sun. Pretty much everything in it was
native widgets. Swing is a later UI from Sun. It uses AWT primitives but
has more Java implementation.
SWT is the UI from Eclipse. It is mostly written in Java with just a few
native implementations (in swtXXXX.dll). JFace is an abstraction layer
on SWT that provides more functions (wizards, tree viewers, etc).
AWT/Swing and SWT/JFace are mutually incompatible, due to different
event models. Talking about which is better is likely to cause a
religious war :-)
