Ntebeans, no.
Swing, Im not so sure they could afford to drop.
The fact is, in the large, they Won the NB v. Eclipse battle but lost Swing v. SWT one. There's a reason why Eclipse supports Swing but Nb doesnt support SWT.
Most importantly, though, Swing is part of the stnadard and has been fora long time. I dont think they'd just willy nilly break it.
