Wouldn't you have to embedd JVM to use SWT?

Reminds me of a quote by Joe Armstrong, creator of Erlang, on OO programming:

"You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle."

Pure-native was a full C++ port. The Java part of SWT uses manual memory management, and is written very simply. I think you could autoconvert it to C++ and present the API that way.
