If you use the snap-shot/cvs version of kaffe, you should be able to use
swing with it.  There are problems (I tried a simple email swing app
yesterday and couldn't get the button images to show up) but kaffe+swing
basically works.

A question about kaffe+swing that I do have is why do the fonts look
different ?
It was my understanding that swing draws almost everything (and I
thought this included fonts) itself in java so why do swing apps fonts
look one way under the jdk (linux & m$) and another way under kaffe
(linux) ?
