Hi, Is it me, or did the original question get kind of lost here. :) To me, the issue isn't so much whether AWT is great or not, or whether it should still be used... The problem is that at some point, Motif calls must be made from Java/Linux, and thus the motif library must be there. And, for

It's interesting to me that so many people have found Swing slow, while my experience has been opposite (I wonder if I have something set up differently on my system or something...). I do see how it can be slower than AWT, since it doesn't use any native peers. Swing's slow performance can be att

My understanding is that Netscape will be using GTK+ instead of Motif for Netscape 5.0 (which may explain why they are slow to get it out) so Sun may already be considering this (save those license fees). Someone should ask. Couldn't hurt. On Sat, 3 Apr 1999, Jeff Galyan wrote: > That's a ques
