I thought that AWT and Swing were in all versions of Java, and it was just the
way the JDK/JRE was written into OS X that made them dependent on Carbon. You
SHOULD be able to get AWT and Swing to work in a version of X on Darwin,
provided you've got a compatible VM, shouldn't you? (my point being that it's
not really AWT/Swing that's the issue, it's getting a Darwin-only VM instead
of a Darwin/OS X VM, which is what's actually installed in X). Or am I off
the mark here?
