me suprised! I downloaded Swing 1.1.1 from the java web site and ran it
against Microsoft's JView program, and my splash stuff worked with only Java
1.1 level tweaking! I also ran the SwingSet test and was suprised that the
performance was fine! (1Ghz and 512MB of ram may have figured intot that
however...) The upshot of this is twofold: first I will
be able to comply with the Apache
Ant Task Design Guidelines and write the Inform.ant portions to
conform to Java 1.1. Second is that Inst.ant can be writting to run on a
"stock" Windows machine without having to got to an AWT
parallel solution. Just include the classes in swingall.jar and you are
good to go. So the odds of seeing a SWT version also fell to near zero as
well since I won't be plugging anything but console and GUI, where GUI means
swing. Being able to run on JView was the whole point of designing with
multiple GUIs in mind, so now I can go with a "write once, debug many times"
solution. |
