Hello, all. I have completed coding my first cut at the AWT system.
What does this mean? It means that all of the following packages
are done:
java.applet
java.awt.datatransfer
java.awt.event
java.awt.peer
Additionally, virtually all of java.awt is done. The exceptions are
the classes Event (the 1.0 event class), GridBagLayout, GridBagConstraints,
and MediaTracker. I'm leaving those for later.
What does "done" mean? Well, not what you think. It means I've written
the code and gotten it to compile. That's all. I've never even popped
so much as a button up on the screen.
Paul and Jim Blair have written many of the peers needed to make this work.
Additionally, I believe they have also written much of java.awt.image
and are able to load some types of images already. This and the peers
work at least somewhat with the JDK already.
The next step is to try to make this work. I'm hoping Paul and Jim
have some time to devote to this since I'm not really the expert on
the AWT. I just wrote the code, that doesn't I really know what it
is supposed to do!
