Re: Want to help in integrating swing.

[Ronald Veldema]

Hi Clemens,
   I did the initial implementation and others patched it up a bit 
since then.
I was able to get a window with some buttons in them working.
However, they do not look like the real deal and other components
don't work at all yet.
In short what is missing is:
   - basic and metal PLAF's (these can be copied from others perhaps.
   there are some fairly complete PLAF implementations on they web,
   GPL-ed with a little luck as well)
   - editor support (JText*, JEdit*)
   - JList needs to be brought up.
   - etc.
I stopped at some point because the awt implementation wasn't up to it.
