Hi,
don't know if this was on the list before, but FWIW
I tried to compile with gcj a unique software named
XTC (http://www.cs.umb.edu/~eugene/XTC/).
It implements the X protocol in Java without any
native code. On top of that widgets can implemented
in Java, too, which in turn might be a base for an
alternative AWT implementation.
1. Download the XTC class files
2. Take this makefile
http://www.informatik.fernuni-hagen.de/import/pi3/joerg/gcj/makefile.xtc
3. Start your X server with 16bpp
4. Issue these commands
$ make -f makefile.xtc
$ make -f makefile.xtc app
$ ./Hello
There are other examples in the tools subdirectory.
If you've got 10 minutes of spare time, you might
want to give it a try. If you've got more than 10
minutes you might want to convince the author of
XTC to finish the project...
