AWT Events

[Shane Nay]

Hello,
Okay, I've been working on integrating libgcj AWT with Pgui 
(pgui.sourceforge.net), you can see the present status at: 
www.minirl.com/pgui-libgcj.html .  Its really targetted at Embedded devices, 
as Pgui is a embedded device GUI.  I've got most of the major drawing and 
widget stuff taken care of, but now I'm working on integrating the event 
core.  It's still in it's infancy in my opinion, while it appears quite far 
ahead, there are really a lot of things to do.  (Notice the PGLayout stuff, 
it's a heavy weight layout class, I need to swing back and get the 
lightweight layouts working)

I really need to know how events are propagated in java AWT normally, like 
are they bubble down, or bubble up.  When I get events from Pgui heavyweights 
they come attached to the particular widget, so that would logically lead to 
sending the event right to the widget.  However, I don't think this is the 
"normal AWTy" way of doing things..., I think maybe you give it to the top, 
and it bubbles down to the component.  What do you all think?, and would 
short circuiting event propagation in the case of heavyweights break 
applications?

Thank You,
Shane Nay.
(I am aware of the situation with the AWT and Richard Stallman's objections 
on behalf of Transvirtual.  I am still making sure the project can be 
integrated into libgcj at some point in terms of contributers, license, etc.)
