Well because AWT is still one of the parts which cause most "porting problems".
It would allow Mac-Java-Developers to test how their would run on Unix
based systems, and/or allow applications that don't run because of
bugs in Apple's java runtime to work fine.

Why do you thinks its more important having it running without X11
than native look & Feel, whats the problem with it?
Furthermore I guess this is would be the hardest task - not doable by
a single developer, so is the statement above an offer to work on it?
If not than its the usual "problem" with open-source projects: Many
"clever" people telling what the project should do to succeed (in fact
this is always fullfilling their wishes ;) ) - but most of them don't
even write a single line of code.
