What’s out there that lets you do this? Are there any OSS projects or maybe something a little more popular than this: http://www.jpackages.com/jflashplayer/ ? This does exactly what I’m suggesting (i.e. cuts out the need for Swing UI for the most part) but for a number of reasons I’d be interested in any better alternatives. Are there any? Any alternatives would need to support the Flex SDK.

Use the SWT GUI toolkit, which has an embedded browser. You can even deploy you own webkit with it, and let flash run in this browser, so you are platform independent, and don’t rely on native browsers.
It will however be a large deployment, because of the browsers size.
EDIT: You can also emed the Flash ActiveX control directly in an SWT composite (Composite is the JPanel of SWT)
