More of a wiki list/collection, I'm looking for a list of good Java desktop apps. I've added a couple below to get started. Please list the framework/widget toolkit being used if it's know as well.
I use jEdit extensively and it's a joy to work with. Slava Pestov and team did an outstanding job.

It is sometimes buggy and slow to startup (seems most Java desktop apps are). Which is why I've since switched to the Database Explorer plugin in Eclipse.

Last time I used SQL Developer (couple years ago) I found it really stable? Has it gotten worse recently?

Kodak Digital Cinema System (and I don't just say that because I wrote about 1/3rd of it including most of the gui.)

I've always admired how feature rich and smooth this app was. Goes to show Java is very capable on the desktop.

Vuze (formerly Azereus) is good, but my top recomendation that I've run across is YourSQL. It's a fantastic little MySQL client for OS X and I used it for more than 1.5 years before I found out it was Java. It was very well done. None of that classic "slow unintegrated junk" many people associate with Java applications.

I also thought jEdit was pretty nice, but once I tried IDEA, I have to say it has the most user-friendly UI (packed with powerful features) of the desktop Java apps I've seen.

On a gaming front Three Rings has done an awesome job with Puzzle Pirates. Pure Java and runs great.

Not a desktop application per se (it's a library), but Go-related: http://www.davidjarvis.ca/jigo

The Runescape game is the only Java application (it has a desktop client in Windows) that I use which isn't an IDE/Editor/Profiler.

Maple (Swing)
Had to work a lot with Maple the last week. It's such a nice and powerful tool, I first couldn't believe that it was developed with Swing and Java :)
