I'd like to use LiTE as a basis for the new AWT, so future support for peer components is there, but Swing isn't using them anyways, or does it now?
Is no-one using SWT[1]? Supposed to be a big improvement over AWT, especially in terms of porting[2]. Allegedly used in embedded systems because of small size and efficiency, and can be used as the peer layer of an AWT implementation. Seems to me it would map extremely well onto DirectFB.
in the world ( that I know of ) are still using normal AWT ... Of couse just by looking at eclipse we can see
how well SWT is ...but which way to choose... or may be let the directfb extension work for the SWT project?
However, if no-one wants to use it then that's of no relevance! There are plenty of SWT vs AWT debates on the web[3], so best to go with what DirectFB developers would actually prefer to use I guess!I think it is no need to debate .... just waste of time :) Pick one and go :) IMHO
