O o.. I am running the make for the gcc3.3 and the classpath cvs sources
now, plan to take a long good shower.

Compile what? GCC? Or do you mean classpath? I am trying to squeeze in
enough time to see if I can get any visual visible on screen, if so,
then I can just skip the whole lot about what peers to use and just
focus on a code review of Swing and what's implemented and what not.

I always wonder why there are only about 16 hrs a day that you can spend
behind a terminal. And that is an optimum.

I saw that, there was a discussion on the Classpath mailing list about
how some things were done in Swing, but if I remember correctly Java2D
is a pretty recent addition to the JDK and didn't exist during the Swing
1.1 release.

It doesn't really matter, I'll find out when I try to get some visuals
working.

I you have the patience I'll post at the end of this week whether and
_how_ I got it working or not.
