It was always possible to use jogl and SWT together using GLDrawableFactory.createExternalGLContext() or GLDrawableFactory.createExternalGLDrawable(). But there was no better support, mainly because of the strong AWT binding. But now, with the new NativeWindow system and the separation of the AWT specific parts, there would be a possibility to create a real integration (ideally as an eclipse plugin).
Is something like that planed?

I already tried it: it shurely is possible, but I tested it only with windows.
two parts would be needed:
- a SWT NativeWindow implementation similar to the AWT one. It will not need any native code because in SWT the handles  are not only saved in java, they are public!
- a SWT GLAutoDrawable implementation
also quite similar to the AWT one
