It is possible that Sun's AWT/Swing implementation is written entirely
in portable Java. However, I doubt it. The core Java libraries are
fairly tightly coupled to a particular VM interface and to each other;
they tend share assumptions about implementation details.
When we have the sources for Sun's Java libraries we'll be able to see
where the non-portable assumptions are.
What you are doing is, more or less, akin to taking a telephone
exchange from New York and dropping it into Tokyo. If it doesn't
work, then you'll have to break out the debugger and find out why it
doesn't work. But I would urge you to use free software instead.
With regard to non-functional stack traces on Windows: this is a known
problem that'll be fixed once we get DWARF unwinder data on that
platform. With regard to Linux: they should work, but it's possible
that there is a bug. If you can reproduce the bug using free
software, let us know.
