RE: [platform-swt-dev] AWT on top of SWT

Does Swing interface with the AWT peer classes?  We have run the Swing Set 1.1.x demo on top of our AWT - there were issues, but I don't think implementing the Peer interface was required.

I'm talking full AWT peer implementation (which would allow Swing to work on top of it).
 
I'm also looking into creating some adapter classes to convert Swing components into SWT, so the look and feel is SWT. Personally, I'm very against using Swing inside Eclipse, as it completely screws up the consistent look and feel of the IDE. Adapter classes would have the same interface as Swing and use SWT components under the covers. (This may have to be an 80% solution though, as there are some things you can do in Swing that you cannot do in SWT).
