Hello:

Since JDK1.7, Canvas is no longer backed up by an NSView. This broke a few
projects, e.g. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=418245. It's
no longer possible to embed inside AWT things like SWT widgets, Apple
WebView component (which extends NSView).

What do the AWT committers think going forward? Will it be possible to have
an internal Canvas class that would be backed up by NSView, to be used by
embedders? Or should we give up the idea of plugging in native widgets into
AWT through NSView and treat CALayer as the way forward?

Thanks for any thoughts you have on this,

Chrix
