> As for how people would feel about switching between > a SwingWT and a FSF implementation where both options are available, > you've given some compelling arguments that I hadn't thought about. I think it would certainly be interesting - and very nice to have the choice. I think if we could get a lot of interesting free stuff packaged up into a neat box (the Kaffe project seems particularly good in this regard as they are incorporating embedded AWT libs and all sorts of clever bits and pieces), it could help a lot in attracting Java developers to the free platforms. > Personally, I tend to steer away from political stuff Me too - I'd rather be coding, but I'm glad there are people out there who I consider "on my side" who do care about the political side of things. > I'm grateful for SwingWT for all the reasons you mentioned. You kidding? Thanks to your GCC distribution I don't get "Dude, tell me how to build native Swing apps on Windows?" questions in my mail any more! Cheers, Rob P.S. I don't know if this is the right list (is there a Mauve list?), but I wrote a Mauve bridge for JUnit as part of SwingWT that means as we add SwingWT unit tests, they can be incorporated into Mauve to test the Classpath implementation of Swing. Don't know if anyone's interested in this. (I did it because I like how Mauve does stuff over JUnit, but JUnit has better integration with ant and I need to do some funky stuff with the classpath during testing of SwingWT that I couldn't do with Mauve). -- ===================================================== Robin Rawson-Tetley Animal Shelter Manager (http://sheltermanager.sf.net) SwingWT (http://swingwt.sf.net) I prefer encrypted email.
