Re: SWT?
The MVC architecture of Sweet Home 3D allows to replace AWT/Swing by SWT without programming again all its model and its controller. Sweet Home 3D under SWT was even available in its early versions until 0.7 ; please read the end of my message http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=241470#241470 for more information.
But if a Swing application's look and feel isn't correct under some Linux distributions, you should rather complain to Sun than think rewrite it with SWT. Maybe the required changes aren't that big.

Lack of support for .mtl files has nothing to do with Java, as Java 3D supports them. Sweet Home 3D should support them in the next version.
