The next version of Java (code name "Mustang") will feature native GTK components for the Swing API.

Some of you might find it interesting.

Have no idea of the purpose of this effort to be honest.
To kill completely that Swing or what?

It seems like Sun is not interested in Java UI at all.
(And indeed, how to make money from it?)

Example: my Java VM

starts and runs typical UI times faster than anything coming
in UI area from the Sun.
And I am not doing anything spectacular there - direct
interpretation of bytecodes using one dumb switch statement.

No.
The reality is that there will be no "native GTK components" in Swing, it's
simply that Swing is now honoring the currently selected GTK theme.
