the Proxy design pattern; something that I think NeXT patented a long
time.  I suppose there is a point that I'm doing GNUstep while you are
doing Java, but still I'm paranoid about patents because Swarm is GPL
code; I don't want to get SDG sued!

As far as I can see. If you can add the GNUstep distributed opbjects
mechanism into Swarm on MacOS X, you have have also solved the problem of
using Apple's Java, and Cocoa classes.

I wouldn't go that far; there is still the issue of different objc runtimes. For GNUstep, I just needed to remove Swarm's reliance on its internal runtime and use the stock one from GCC; they are still both the GNU objc runtime.
