I took this from the Eclipse site SWT project page:
-----
Another exciting aspect of SWT is that it is also being used as part of 
the underlying implementation for several embedded systems efforts 
because of its small size and focus on efficiency. The most notable of 
these, currently at least, is in the AWT implementation provided as part 
of the VisualAge/MicroEdition class libraries, where SWT effectively 
becomes the peer layer for AWT. Further effort is ongoing to improve 
SWT's utility in this area.

Just a thought, but if GCJ used SWT it could solve the lack of AWT if it 
took a similiar approach.
