[Swingwt-developers] Update

[Robin Rawson-T. <bob...@us...>]

A bunch of new bits have gone into the CVS tree:

Frame->JFrame (and similiar Dialog/Window) hierarchy now matches Swing
correctly for applications that rely on it.

JTextComponent with basic Caret support is now implemented and
JTextField/JTextArea/JEditorPane correctly descend it and make use of
it's functionality now.

JClosableTabbedPane now uses a local copy of the appropriate custom SWT
classes - this means the JDesktopPane/JInternalFrame classes work fine
with SWT 2.x again (for those using the Win32 SWT/MinGW combo from
www.thisiscool.com to make life easier under Windows)

Compatibility fixes were added for GNU Classpath (broken
File.getParent() implementation) and JDK 1.3 (Action class was using
Boolean.valueOf(boolean) which should be replaced with=20
new Boolean(boolean) for backwards compatibility).

A memory leak in Container destruction was fixed so your apps won't
eventually fill the heap because of SwingWT! (It was a slow leak so
don't worry)

I'm now working on a tool to auto-generate interface differences between
SwingWT and Swing/AWT to give us a better picture of what's missing.
