That's the swing implementation that should definitely
work. If doesn't any longer, please send us a bug
report. Swing implementations from JDK 1.2 and above
require some yet unimplemented mathods in kaffe's
class library. If you want to work on getting swing
from JDK 1.4 to run on kaffe, for example, you should
try merging in the missing code from GNU Classpath, if
they have implemented it.
