What platform are you going to develop your desktop application on, and how much UI tweaking are you planning on doing? It is commonly argued on the internet that SWT and JFace are more suitable for quick out-of-the-box type UI development on the Eclipse platform because they work so well together (eg. JFace wizards, databinding and validation), whereas Swing is more suitable for enterprise level development in NetBeans that requires more UI customising:

I have worked on UI applications written in SWT and JFace with Eclipse (which consume web services), and have found such things as the decorator framework to be quite useful. My applications require minimal user interaction, so SWT and JFace have minimized my development time quite nicely. I can see, though that if I scaled out my application to an enterprise level MVC design requiring richer interactions with users that using SWT and JFace may not be as suitable as using Swing.

Just my opinion!
