Swing is the safe choice as it is mature and has been part of Java SE for about 
a decade.

If you want more native look and feel and can live with only support on major 
desktop platforms then you can go for SWT.

If you want a modern (*) GUI development platform and can live with only 
support on major desktop platforms then you can go for JavaFX.

As JavaFX is planned to be part of Java SE 8, then if you are looking at long 
term, then JavaFX seems as something you need to look into.

*) Newer does not guarantee better, but given that SUN/Oracle (JavaFX),
Adobe (Flex) and MS (WPF & SL) all went for the model with XML markup and code, 
then maybe it is better!
