What's your problem?  Do you really think that the Java VM and AWT and
base libraries is as rich an environment as the full whack Win32
environment?

Get a life!

But that's a long long way from being valueless - Java is great because
it works across so many platforms.  On most of those platforms, you can
quite easily build better applications using the native facilities.  But
you don't always need to build a better app, and the portability is a
big win.

Some of the class library support (eg layout) is a big win too on
platforms such as Windows where it is not routinely provided.  But you
definitely CAN provide it even there.
