SoyLatte will be your only choice right now if you have to get it done in
the next few months.
Development of the Cocoa version of SWT is underway, but I'm 99% certain
that the SWT/AWT bridge is not working yet.
Also, the Cocoa port is 32-bit only right now due to the way the SWT
development cycle works. We just had a discussion about this on
platform-swt-dev yesterday -- the 32-bit version is developed first, and
once stable the 64-bit version is developed. I would like to change that so
the two happen in parallel but we'll see what happens.
