RE: [Java-gnome-developer] swing support

[Jeffrey M. <Jef...@Br...>]

The Classpath project already has an effort underway
to develop GTK peers for AWT.  I believe they are
fairly complete.  Currently the focus of this project 
is on producing Gnome 2 bindings.  

I believe the slow performance on swing has little to
do with the AWT implementation.  It is my belief that it
has to do with the fact that the widgets are rendering
themselves and bypassing the native rendering facilities
of the operating system.  AWT typically performs quite
well.
