They should be usuable inside the SWT-AWT bridge, but that bridge is really dicey to get working right sometimes. I had a lot of trouble with it at my prior day-job and am happy I no longer have to deal with it.

For the most part, SWT and AWT are similar enough in their rendering that its possible to build most of a layout algorithm to be rendering API agnostic, and then permit implementation of AWT and SWT backends. But that still is duplicated effort, vs. straightforward code reuse.
