I presume you mean a newer SWT? I'm using the latest stable. For whatever
reason, I never thought to try the latest snapshot. I'll give that a go.

Hmm. It's a thought. So, one JVM launches and have it handle the events from
OSX, and launches the real app using Runtime.exec() and pass messages using
an RPC system? It sounds quite plausible. 99% of the infrastructure to do
this is already in place (to get this kind of support on other platforms), so
I'd just need to write the loader. This is definitely worth trying.
If you can remember some keywords or subject lines about the discussions that
I can search for, please let me know.

I'll check this out, thanks.

This would work with the loader thing I describe above, I think.

I had a look at that to start with, and it didn't work. However, I switched
pretty quickly to using the Apple classes, and it may have been some other
issue causing it not to work. I'll have another go with it.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions (any more are quite welcome though!), they
give me some hope that I'll be able to make this work :)
