Last time I checked Java does have a compiler and compiles to byte code that
runs inside the JVM.
Just because it doesn't compile down to a native binary, it is still a
"compiled" language, as opposed to something like Python or Ruby.
Just had to clear up that confusion.

Subject: Re: Eclipse, SWT and Java on the Mac
Unfortunately, I can't help with these particular issues. I try hard not
to use swing when developing apps, I try to stick to standard java
calls/buttons/what have you, though I know other things do work. And, to
be honest, I've really not fiddled with it all that much lately, so I'm a
bit out of practice. I was using it heavily a couple years ago when
taking classes at an online university, but really haven't messed with it
much since then, since java is nice, but I really prefer compiled
languages (personal preference, so no flaming please)
I've not tried eclipse either, so can't comment on how well it works.
However, the java programs I did work on all did allow me to tab between
controls, so perhaps it's just a matter of how the buttons and all are
actually defined.
I'll go back, dig up some of the stuff I worked on, and see if there's
anything I can figure out as to what makes it tab capable or not.
