The next release (0.02) will have preliminary Motif AWT peers. I think it could come along quite quickly. Especially if it relies upon "non-free" stuff like the Swing AWT classes - which don't need a lot of native support. > Lesstif is also not up to the task yet. Probably not for Mozilla (call it Mozilla, the branded "Netscape" product won't be released as source) - but I think lesstif is good enough for everything AWT does. > Combining Motif-based NS with JDK linux port would be the best solution now, > IMO.

In this case NS (Mozilla) can be in contrib and plug-in in non-free. Japhar is fairly new - so it is following the Sun specs very closely. It is totally based on JNI. So I imagine that it could be made to conform to Sun's specs for plugging in. Cheers, - Jim
