My next steps for OpenJDK on the Mac are straight-forward:
- With the FreeBSD/Java project, get the baseline port accepted as an
official OpenJDK Porting Project (In Progress)
- Further Mac OS X native integration -- AWT toolkit, x509, sound,
etc.
As a tangent which is perhaps moving off topic for this thread, but
more on topic for the forum than much of the thread has been...have you
thought about implementing the AWT peers using Swing? Obviously there are
some that have to be implemented with native code: you need to be able to
display a window and draw into it. But there are a lot of peers for the
old AWT components like Button, List, etc. They aren't used much anymore,
but you still need them to have a complete Toolkit. You could probably
implement them a lot more quickly in pure Java using Swing than in native
code using Cocoa.
