Report on SWT GIJ 3.3

[Øyvind Harboe]

I thought I'd take GIJ for a spin to see how well it fared
w.r.t. deploying small SWT apps.

Didn't have much luck with it. Perhaps there is a GIJ JNI issue.

>From Mohans stuff:


C:\thisiscool-gcc\examples\HelloSWT>gcj --classpath=swt.jar -C HelloSWT.java

C:\thisiscool-gcc\examples\HelloSWT>java -cp .;swt.jar HelloSWT

Works fine!


Now for GIJ:


C:\thisiscool-gcc\examples\HelloSWT>gij  --classpath swt.jar;. HelloSWT
