Pretty much. Java + Eclipse + SWT. In our case it's swing because I don't wanna mess with 100% portability since we're doing webstart.
Eclipse makes Java feel "dynamic" since it auto-compiles with every keystroke. Brilliant stuff, really.
Having said that, our server side will remain in 100% Common Lisp on the JVM. Since it's the part that sees near daily updates, unlike the client GUI which is code and forget.
