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.

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 ?
