I don't quite see why Swing should not be a completely stand-alone library that could run on any platform that had Java2D and the windowing aspects of AWT implemented. Also interesting in a SwingWT and SWTSwing kinda way. http://swingwt.sourceforge.net/ http://swtswing.sourceforge.net/ Too bad that those projects both doesn't seem to quite get to 100%.

The necessity to redevelop each of AWT widgets as a required part of the JDK has always been one the major difficulty for making Java available on a new given platform. Caciocavallo is really a very interesting project !!! That’s great !!

That way you can support the task bar functionality in some Swing applications. Painting is easy. Events are hard. Try to implement AWT menus and pop up menus first.
