Use Eclipse SWT for JIST user interface

Detailed description

In the next version/generation of JIST, it would be great if the UI components were built from Eclipse's Standard Widget Toolkit (http://www.eclipse.org/swt/). This would add extensive functionality, enhance usability, make the application look more "professional," and enable JIST to eventually integrate with Eclipse.

I'm also looking for volunteers in the CS dept :-). I would be
willing to spend a little time to add a view for ParamCollection
that uses an ExpandItem (http://www.eclipse.org/swt/widgets/).
The module parameter pane becomes unnavigable if there are a lot
of modules in the layout. Also if you plan on rewriting the
library, consider using the tree widget to provide content
filtering and searching.

For now, a high priority of mine is to rewrite the library structure
and layout io so that it is easier to update modules and not break
layouts.
