Description Lynn Monson CLA 2002-04-11 09:10:11 EDT 
It is possible to implement IID_IDispatch instances in SWT using COMObject.  
However, it's not obvious how to do so and the implementer is left with the 
responsibility of cracking all IDispatch method arguments.

Instead, enhance SWT by offering a base implementation of IID_IDispatch that 
cracks arguments and delegates to relevant Java methods.  This would greatly 
ease the burden of implementing IID_IDispatch and would facilitate interaction 
with a great many COM controls including deep integration with Internet 
Explorer.
