Re: Working on Kaffe/X-AWT port...


Hi there!

a concern.  Additionally, it will be difficult to integrate properly
with modern window managers, tools, and look-and-feel.  The main value

Why? My bindings only will create event, font and drawing funktions, the whole painting-process itself is done in java.


It could a problem if you want to make it part of libgcj, since our
policy is to use GPL+exception.  LGPL is compatible with this, but
is more restrictive.  And LGPL is especially problematic for small
embedded devices that use static linking, so the interest in AWT-on-Xlib
would be further reduced ...

But, as far as I know, LGPL allows linking into commercial code?
