Thanks Joe Sam and Thorbjorn for you reply...

We need to build a client that will require about 2000 concurrent users of 
which 400 are heads down users.  There is significant data entry so that is why 
I am leaning towards a thick client.  It sounds like Swing may be a better 
option then huh?  What is the difference between JSP's and JavaServerFaces?  
Also, is there an advantage to using one or the other?

Thanks guys for you input!
Chad

Do any of you have some recommendations on good reading material for
learning SWT and SOA?  Also, would anyone recommend SWING over SWT?  I
do not know much about either except that SWT can take advantage of
platform specific functionality
  
What scenario are you addressing? 

If it is building a client talking to a server, you should be able to go 
quite a way with a browser (i.e. a web client).  If you need heavy 
processing in the client, then write a Java application and launch it 
with Java Web Start.

I would only recommend the SWT-road for experienced programmers as it is 
a very moving target.   Swing is very well documented and is used by 
many people and has support from a lot of IDE's.  Both Netbeans and 
Eclipse have GUI designers for Swing, and I have been on a team writing 
a very large Swing client.

If your needs are more suited for a web client, then ask for details - I 
am currently writing a JavaServerFaces application and may give you a 
hint or two.

Best regards,

Thorbjørn
