I've already done it : )
I've written a java windowing system called shark windows.
The AWT peers are implemented on top of the Swing.
I have a driver written on top of a Java device dirver for the Cirrus Logic
5430 it's currently not functional I haven't upgred its api.
One on top of a XLIB replacement called XTC.
And one which bootstraps off the AWT for graphics calls.
It has a portability layer at the graphics api level. Basically implement the
Graphics class and it just works TM : )
Anyway I plan on a GGI driver as soon as I get around to it. Can someone give me
the email adress of the person
who is writting the AWT/ggi driver since if he has the graphics class working I'm
100% java from there up.
Shark is very close to a stable release it's currently it's only avialable via
CVS at
www.gjt.org
CVS java/org/gjt/shark
I hope to have a release in the next week or two.
Anway its almost complete I'm actually working on the File Viewer/application
launcher right now.
I've been able to succesfully run several apps to date.
