platform, maybe using the same Theme?

The other option is to forget eclipse and develop a standard swing
application and use the same Look & Feel on each platform. But so I have
to invent the wheel again.

There might be an alternate solution.
It is possible to embed swing GUI within SWT GUI.
By using a swing theme that has exactly the same look and feel on any
platform, you could solve your problem in using swing within an RCP
application.
Look at the articles on the eclipse.org main site for details about this
kind of embedding.

Hope this helps.

SWT is all about using the native L&F so it will be natural to users on each
particular platform. If you want it to look exactly the same everywhere,
Swing would be a better choice. For a Swing framework try Netbeans or
JLense.
