You can and you should use com.jogamp.opengl.swt.GLCanvas if you need JOGL/OpenGL support. You can use org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas if you don't need OpenGL support.

The official SWT OpenGL canvas of the Eclipse Platform hasn't been maintained since 2006 and is called org.eclipse.swt.opengl.GLCanvas.

Look at Wade's blog to find some more examples using JOGL with SWT.
