The GTK+ heavyweight peers are almost complete. We're not going to
just throw them away. They work.
As for the possibility of implementing peers using lightweight
components, we need free JFC components first.

If you have a completely portable implementation, how do you ever
display anything to the screen? You have to interface with the
hardware at some level, and that's going to be non-portable.
