I'm not sure it is that bad. Take a look at TinyAWT.

Is there a way to have Java (especially | the AWT and Swing components) run without XWindows? | That would mean using either | the frame buffer, | or GGI, | or SVGI lib. Theoretically it should be possible, but it will mean that you will have to re-implement the AWT on top of whatever graphical subsystem you want it to have it on (e.g. GGI or SVGAlib???) and that will be a lot of work.
