Anything that’s graphical ends up native somehow. AWT/Swing was initially thinly native (basically widgets emulated and rewritten in Java, hence why they all looked and felt like crap). SWT took the opposite approach and provided native peers, so a lot more native code there. JavaFX has been moving toward the SWT model, from my understanding.
