It's a good project, so good that I'm doing it already =) I'm implementing an AWT peer library using XTC. My main goal is to get enough to run Swing and reduce the memory footprint from Motif bloat. . . . Sean.

There isn't much functionality, but the Scribble application from the Java Nutshell handbook works. So far, Panel, Graphics, Font, and the mouse events are the only things working. If you run it under kaffe, you get a memory footprint of 6 megs vs 22 with the jdk. Anybody want to pitch in? =) . . . Sean.

Re: Free javac?

There's guavac, which is a javac written in C++. Then there's pizza, an extended version of the Java language. There's also Jump, another Java variant with parameterized data types. Then there's also another Java variant being developed at MIT LCS, used by the software engineering classes. Of the four, only guavac is free afaik but it seems development has stopped. Cygnus is reportedly interested in developing a javac-frontend to gcc. . . . Sean.
Re: jdk 1.2

If you go to http://java.sun.com, go into the InfoBus area and there will be a version of 1.2 collections suitable for 1.1. The only things you'll need to change are the package names. I don't believe 1.2 will be ported to Linux until after the official 1.2 jdk is released, since, (I'm guessing here), the source isn't released to licensees until then. . . . Sean.
