Well, I think it uses a GPL+LGPL licence... the library portion might be
LGPL, but I'll check... If it isn't it could be a problem.
It is JDK 1.1, but then again that's what I meant by the "missing bits"
that could come from "classpath", as it is the gcj implementation couldn't
be called 1.2 compliant either (although it has a lot more).

Dunno, I've only seen GCJ AWT run on Linux, and I want a working cross
platform version 8-) Maybe the native widgets are a drawback, the current
code seems very X/GTK biased.
...Anyway, "I want" never gets 8-)
I'm just idly throwing ideas into the wind at this point...
How about AWT being an optional GCJ library ?
