SWT / Swing [was Update -- FreeBSD's 1.6 JDK on Mac OS X]

On the subject of native widgets, I was surprised (and delighted) to see that the Carbon SWT implementation appears to work, removing the X11 dependency for SWT apps:
http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/macosx/MacOS_Java_Native_SWT.20071122.html

Amusingly -- and interestingly -- there's a more-or-less complete Swing implementation based on SWT:
http://swingwt.sourceforge.net/

This is not a production solution, by far, but I do think it is pretty darn neat.

I think I read somewhere that the Java GUI libraries for Linux are
built on top of GTK+.  With a native port of GTK+ to MacOSX, you might
be almost there...

Whilst I don't see the need myself, I applaud the effort and choice is
incredibly important.

I suspect that whilst Native Look & Feel is not critical, the removal
of the X11 dependency is ultimately a requirement.

So... what are the chances that this ends up being a fully open-

Fairly high, assuming that the FreeBSD JDK work is merged into the
OpenJDK project.
I will be pushing my changes upstream to the FreeBSD JDK repository
as things stabilize, and I've signed a Sun Contributor Agreement in
preparation for working with the OpenJDK project.

I'm personally very interested in seeing an up-to-date, open source
JDK for Mac OS X.
