I dont think so. For this to be viable we'd need an implementation of 
SWT based on JavaFX. There was an effort some time ago, that got 
traction at first and stalled when they afair discovered incompatible 
disparities btw. SWT and JavaFX (was it the event loop et all?).

Their loose plan now is to migrate the IDE to JavaFX leaving SWT alone 
(but dont expect this to be successful any time soon, it's a huge task. 
And then who would migrate existing plugins?)
