[Java-gnome-developer] swing support

[Niko S. <nik...@gm...>]

Hello,

I fooled around with gnome and ruby a while and I was thinking why it 
wouldn't be possible to support Swing in gnome windows.

I mean, the big problem with swing is speed, as far as i know, and this does 
not come from the swing widgets but from the horrible AWT threading, imho.

swing is pure java in the biggest parts, i dont really see why it wouldnt be 
possible to write a new Graphics2D class, and let swing draw itself into a 
gnome frame. youd get with one single class:

- full swing support
- j2d support
- maybe replace the JFrame class, who knows.

whats your idea bout this?

regards,

nick
