I have a few questions related to developing a standalone application with the spring frawework What should the UI preferably be in? Any particular scenarios or frameworks like the Spring Rich Client where Spring framework has been used to create a standalone application? It will be of great help if some link for creating the same can be shared? Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is any preference in UI toolkit, but I would use Swing. Simply for the fact that it is built-in to JDK. Obviously SWT can be used too, but you would have to deploy additional and platform-specific libraries. So in my view using Swing is simply easier (unless you have more experience in SWT)
Almost any Swing framework can be used with Spring. We used Swing Application Framework, but it really does not matter. Spring Rich Client is outdated though and I wouldn't recommend it.
