I always considered AWT asa "widget tookit" (AFAIR it's what it stands for), so the library for creating windows, frames, panels, buttons, menus etc. That's why I thought it hadn't much to do with non-widget library which JasperReports is, and why I assumed it's not needed on GAE (as GAE is not targeted at running desktop applications). On the other hand, the base for reports and widgets is similar: graphics, pixels, colors etc - and it's also part of AWT. So probably it was a Sun's mistake to have them mixed into one library. However, we can't count for fixing it now, so now I see it is probably necessary to have some base AWT functionality accessible on GAE.
