Flex (and by extension, AIR) has a very distinctive look and feel that doesn't look like any other platform out there, so there will be a lot of work to get your Java UI to look like the AIR UI.
There was a port of the SWT to Flex that was started up last year as a part of the e4 project (SWT Browser Edition), but it was put on hold, and no active development is underway on it. I don't recall how complete it is. It involves cross-compilation of your Java to ActionScript, and then into a SWF.
I believe you can find the project in the e4 CVS repository -- there may be some instructions on how to build it there.
