Note that these libraries only implement the AWT subset that is needed 
to run the Sun implementation of Swing on top of it. It does not 
contain a cleanroom implementation of Swing.
I've been developing a Xlib based AWT toolkit. As part of this, I've 
started a cleanroom Swing implementation. I've currently only got 
JButton, JLabel, and their associated classes up and running. Since 
pure Xlib does not have any native widget set, I've been implementing 
heavyweight AWT components by redirecting requests to lightweight Swing 
components.
