Jacob, thanks for your great work in porting DWT.
Thanks :)
Is your automatic tool, when finished, generic enough to port Java packages other than SWT?
I'll write the tool with the goal of porting SWT. If any processing is required that is specific for the SWT code that will require a specific command line option to enable.
It should work for any Java code that is limited to the parts of Java that SWT uses. For example, no Java 8 features will be supported, unless SWT starts to use them. The SWT code is quite conservative, I would expect the biggest issue would be the standard library. Example, SWT uses raw arrays instead of something like ArrayList.
