A while back i just wished that i could mix somehow the gnu classpath and
java-gnome in the sense that i can manipulate the same Gtk widget from two
different API - awt/swing from once and java-gtk from other.
If Gnu classpath is relying on Gtk - would it be sensible to export an
interface to the underlying Gtk widgets to make it more usable with swt and
java-gnome.
Of course this would mean that it has to extend the java specs ....

Just my 2 cent for this topic

PS - i managed to mix swing with java-gnome, but i needed to restore the X
IO error handlers of swing - otherwise hard crashes happened.
