Fantastic! I'd be delighted if SwingWT was accepted into Kaffe as a Swing option for developers - it would certainly make life a lot easier for people wanting to move their Java development to a free platform. I've been running SwingWT under Kaffe for the last couple of months as I want another of my free apps (that uses SwingWT) to be available on free platforms so it needs to run under Kaffe (ideally I'd like to make a Debian package for it as it is a popular app and I hate having to maintain an installer for it). I'm using the current Kaffe in Debian unstable - both SwingWT and Animal Shelter Manager (the free app in question and the reason I wrote SwingWT in the first place) are running very nicely with it - oddly enough I find Kaffe runs SwingWT and ASM noticeably faster than the Sun VM implementation (which is a really nice bonus!). I plan to release SwingWT 0.81 before the end of this week which fixes many compatibility issues and bugs (whilst being 100% compatible with Kaffe and GIJ/GCJ of course!). Oh, and this release has startup script files for Kaffe as well as GIJ and the Sun VM under Win32/Linux :-) Kind regards, Rob -- ===================================================== Robin Rawson-Tetley Animal Shelter Manager (http://sheltermanager.sf.net) SwingWT (http://swingwt.sf.net) I prefer encrypted email.
