Scott Kovatch, who worked on SWT for OS X at Apple, had this to say to say about the scope of such a project (http://twitter.com/#!/skovatch/ status/28570794726):"@kirillcool 5 FTE's took one year to create #SWT Cocoa port; 4 of the 5 knew the API inside out. A new AWT would take at least as long." 5 engineers, at California salaries, benefits, and taxes, is probably around US$1million a year. So that's where I would estimate the pricet of a production-quality AWT/Swing port.
But I'm not talking of redoing the same thing Apple did. As fas as I know, Quaqua (100% pure Java Aqua widgets) would be ok and I'm just thinking of a "lightweight" (if we can say so) porting so at least JWindow and JFrame run inside a Cocoa window.
