Doesn't the java source code supposed to be same for all jdk1.4.2 ?
Moreoever since AWTEvent is serializable shouldn't this usecase(AWTEvent
RMI'ed accross) work ?
If 'bdata' is private & platform specific, then shouldn't it have been
"transient".
We were creating a event that extended of ActionEvent that extends from
AWTEvent,
which can be worked around. I was just curious if anyone in the list
knew why
the AWTEvent.java is different in the same versions of the JDK.
Thanks,

I'd be very surprised if something so basic as AWTEvent can be copied
between platforms and still keep any semblance of meaning. They're tied
directly to the event-dispatch machinery, after all, which is very much
platform-dependent. (The field causing the problem *is* private, and
officially undocumented, after all, making it fair game for anything Sun
or
Apple cares to do to it.)

Extract the data of interest from the event and send it by itself, with
the
receiver constructing a Windows-appropriate AWTEvent from the received
data.
Better yet, explain what problem you're *really* trying to solve (the
one
that sending AWTEvents is intended to be the solution for), and perhaps
someone can propose something less platform-specific.
