Or is this what Sun/JavaSoft uses, assuming everyone has it? I think it's not quite difficult to use like Xaw widget set instead of Motif, but it may be faced against another probelm in JDK/AWT. patrick> Lesstif just isn't *there* yet, either. patrick> patrick> I'd hate to have JDK tied to a commercial (read, "has a price tag") patrick> product, if we could work around it, with a free one. I've just thougt so in these few days. In another side, I faced against problems in Japanese environment with Xig Motif. # In multi font environment, and XIM, # it doesn't work correctly X-( I'm planning to support the Lesstif with current JDK. Currently, there are some problems in JDK with Lesstif (in DialogShell, frame size....), but I think it's so easy to solve these problems because we can see the *SOURCE* of Lesstif. Is there another way to port JDK onto BSD without a commercial product ? -- Hironori Ikura
