I did not refer to the Sun implementation when I wrote the AWT so I don't know what they did wrt tree lock but it is probably something I just missed. You'll find that GridBagLayout is not the only thing missing. There are a handful of others such as 1.0 events as well. As you surmise, there is little post-1.1 stuff in there, though I believe I tried to implement some 1.2 package stuff if it did not look too hard. Brian Jones also did a start on a GTK+ look and feel for Swing and there might be some other Swing items as well. I am very glad to hear that the code basically runs. Hopefully we can iterate this up to a working AWT in reasonably decent period of time. -- Aaron M.
