I was going to respond originally, but here Paul has finally said it,
so I'll add my own comments. While sharing Java source seems
plausible, it doesn't appear to me to benefit them to share native
source, since they want to relicense that for whatever embedded
systems folks are interested in buying the Kaffe solution. Since
they might want to reorganize their Java source differently than we
do, from the point of view of what is native and what is not, then
working from the same Java source probably wouldn't work. The only
possible thing I see happening is they might open up the Java source
as LGPL instead of GPL. This makes sharing possible, though we can't
work from the same base.
Was looking at the class tree for Swing and the list of things needed.
I was hoping it would be slight, instead I realize now it is pretty
much everything (except things like Button). Here's a list I just
made. Going to be fun to get into this and later into Swing! :)
java.awt.AWTEvent
java.awt.Component
java.awt.Container
java.awt.Color
java.awt.Panel
java.awt.Window
java.awt.Dialog
java.awt.Frame
java.awt.event.ComponentAdapter
java.awt.Dimension
java.awt.event.ComponentEvent
java.awt.event.InputEvent
java.awt.event.KeyEvent
java.awt.event.MouseEvent
java.awt.event.FocusAdapter
java.awt.Font
java.awt.Graphics
java.awt.image.ImageFilter
java.awt.image.RGBImageFilter
java.awt.Insets
java.awt.event.KeyAdapter
java.awt.event.MouseAdapter
java.awt.event.MouseMotionAdapter
java.awt.Rectangle
java.awt.event.WindowAdapter
java.applet.Applet
All the interfaces.
