The embedded window support class from GNU Classpath is gnu.java.awt.EmbeddedWindow. Some more background on the bridge and SWT support in general can be found in the developer wiki: http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/FreeSWTTestApps And some more background can be found in this mailing list thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2005-11/msg00162.html Cheers, Mark
