|  Can anyone point me to a solid SWT from scratch tutorial (i.e. never use SWT). 

Finding the "SWT homepage" is a litte difficult, but if you dig deep
enough and follow the links on the Eclipse download pages you can find
this gem:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/dev.html

They have links to the javadocs, as well as a FAQ and a ton of
examples.  The Eclipse.org Articles section also has a good selection
of SWT-related articles (the layout manager article is a great start
to SWT layouts).

If you are feeling adventurous, download the latest SWT drops from the
3.0 line, you can actually integrate AWT/Swing components into your
SWT applications (I have done this with JFreeChart without incident).
Check my posting on the JFreeChart forum for a quick and dirty howto:
