Do you compile for Windows or for Linux?
Does that application run with a Sun 1.4 JRE or does it depend on 1.5 
methods?

If you only compile for Windows and the application runs with a Sun 1.4 
JRE, then it's probably a bug.

No, you don't have to do anything special. If you want to compile the 
AWT example, just add it as source and compile it.
awt.dll and the other files are only needed at runtime.

Nothing, it runs out of the box :-)
Or at least should. I mainly program SWT, so I didn't have fancy 
applications to test. So your feedback is really welcome.
