I guess you are talking about SwingWT?
http://swingwt.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/swingwt
Seems great, but if we add the project in Debian, it'll change nothing
at the actual situation.
If we want the swing application to use SwingWT and go to main (if it's
the only reason the application is in contrib!), we'll have to modify
all the javax.swing.* and java.awt.* package to swingwtx.swing.* and
swingwt.awt.*... And we are not sure of the benefice... (everything is
not yet implemented and we cannot be sure if there are no other bugs
than the one from non-free Swing implementation.
It'd be better if this was better bounded to a free JVM... but i'm not
sure it's a long term benefit?
Cheers,
PS: If you want it, see the wnpp bugs and file one (wishlist + subject:
RFP: swingwt -- short description...)
