Kaffe, can you say AWT?

robilad is a human merging machine :) He actually integrated the work of jserv and saugart which means that Kaffe OpenVM now has three AWT backends (QT, X and GTK+). This should also make Kaffe useable for hacking on GNU Classpath's AWT and Swing implementations.

And just to add to the free AWT/Swing UI fun graydon prepared the "monthly merge":

  • AWT lists use GTK treeviews
  • proper AWT focus management has been implemented
  • swing menus and scrollpanes are beginning to work
  • swing splitpanes, dialogs and internal frames were added
  • swing repainting / double buffering was redone
  • a lot of AWT imaging and event bugs have been picked out

Sweet!
