SWT has an "uncommon" way of managing memory, some resources have to be managed by the developer.

JMonkeyEngine is nice for games but if you really need a solid integration in Eclipse RCP / JFace / SWT or in Netbeans Platform / Swing / AWT, rather use Ardor3D (even though it is less documented and it has a smaller community). JMonkeyEngine is mainly designed for games or applications within a single screen whereas Ardor3D is mainly designed for applications even though it can be used for games.

Swing is far from being deprecated but it's "frozen", in maintenance mode.
