My recollection is that the best-supported AWT peers are based on
Gtk.  This may be too heavy for your use case, I'm not sure.

There are some other peer implementations in there, but I don't think
they are as complete.  I guess you'd have to experiment a bit, or
maybe ask on the Classpath list -- the folks working on the non-Gtk
back ends are more active over there.
