AWT is dead now

Sat Apr 1 00:00:00 GMT 2000

I personally think that applets are relevant in this context. I wrote one
that I would really like to be able to compile with gcj, to reduce the
startup overhead, if nothing else. Compiling it as an application is
trivial; finding an AWT implementation is obviously not.
In general, it seems to me that this gives a way to write small desktop
tools only once, and have them be runnable quickly as a native executable
from the local disk, or occasionally from within your favorite browser.
This is probably not the most important use of gcj, but it seems to me it is
a potential use, that we shouldn't completely discount either.
Unfortunately, my impression is that very few of them use Swing.

Well, than show me some real *applications* that uses AWT. And I'm not
talking
about applets (not very relevant in a GCJ context) or book's examples.
I'm talking about real, useful, applications.
