I've started a project to implement Java AWT peers in GTK+ (instead
of in Motif). Besides breaking the dependency on Motif, I
believe that this will make it simpler to integrate Java apps
into the Gnome desktop project. (See www.gtk.org and www.gnome.org).
I'm intending to add this to the JDK1.2 for Linux as an extension,
so that either the existing Motif version or my new GTK+ version
of the AWT can be used, depending on personal preference.
I noticed in the archives that this was discussed a few months ago, but
I haven't seen anything on this topic recently recently.
I happen to work on Java at Sun, so I have access to the JDK1.2
sources, although this is not an offical Sun project - I'm strictly
doing it in my spare time. I hope to have something of alpha
quality, that other developers can also work on, by the time
JDK1.2 is released.
