Do you have any competition? Mac users will tolerate a Java Swing app. But once a native Cocoa (or even Carbon) equivalent app (most features/functionality being the same) comes out, they'll switch.
I hate using Java Swing apps. It's an accumulation of minor irritants that cause this hatred:
1. the inability to interact with OS X Services;
2. copy/paste not working exactly like Cocoa apps;
3. font rendering being messed up;
4. the fact that the menu system is usually different than a Cocoa app and that I can't customize keyboard shortcuts as easily.

However, the presence of all of these irritants doesn't mean I won't tolerate a Java Swing app if I absolutely must, because there isn't another feature/functionality equivalent application out there.
