Are there any GUI clients based on those libraries? Wikipedia's list[0] doesn't include any.

But it does include, I see now, exactly what I was asking for – apparently there's an actively developed fork of Azureus called BiglyBT[1].

It's heartwarming to see that the spirit behind Azureus is still alive. SWT might not be what the Duke himself wants in a Java GUI framework, but it's practical and I remember the "chunks bar" in the Azureus GUI fondly. It'll enjoy firing up BiglyBT after all these years. Using a largely memory safe language makes a lot of sense for P2P software.
