Is this using your AWT? I gather from Kaffe's source that
Swing is not cleanly implemented, so if you want to have
a drop-in for javax.swing, it might require the same
hidden dependencies on AWT.
There is an LGPL project implementing AWT on top of Swing,
to create a lightweight AWT. Have you considered a
lightweight AWT (minimal native peers) for Classpath?
Is this possible - as a drop-in replacement? Is there
significant overlap (in pure Java code) with the free
Swing implemetation?
The reason I'm asking: I am looking for a lightweight
LGPL AWT implementation that is standalone (not VM
specific) and has a minimal native X11 peer that I
can rewrite to be GLX based. I.e. I want to use OpenGL
to render the widgets. I suspect that this won't work
with your GTK based AWT, right? Kaffe's lightweight
AWT looks better suited for this.
Who's working on the Classpath Swing?
