Compiling native GUI code

Tue Mar 4 12:21:00 GMT 2003

Q: would it be possible to implement Swing with a .jar
and a .dll, like SWT does?
Background:
I don't think the SWT guys decided to "support" native 
compilation when they set out on their task. They just
happen to have a JNI binary + a .jar, no funny business.
Perhaps such an implementation of Swing does exist and
I don't know about it. Wouldn't be a first.
I first implemented my app in Swing, then I switched to
SWT to compile it to native code. 
My app is quite small and simple, so all these Swing vs.
SWT issues aren't of any great significance for my app.
