Yes, most toolkits I know have some specialized "Scrollable", the one or
the other way. Before AWT can get this, I suppose we need a real support
of nested windows. Currently, it is - AFAIK - possible to create them,
but it requires a lot of manual work, not to mention the missing
designer support.
Given than the "ScrollableView" is probably part of some container
window, and contains other windows itself, nesting is essential here,
/me thinks.

Yes, probably.

Again: Yes, probably :)

Submit an RFE :). This would be a really interesting ... (we "plan" this
for years for form controls, which share a lot of concepts and
implementations with dialog controls)

You're welcome :)
