Is there any recommendations out there, what to use other than Swing to
code  a _real portable_ Java based GUI (using eg. Kaffe's jvm)? I am
looking for a Java class, which doesn't use much space (no bloatware) and
is distributed under some form of Open Source license.

>From my little experience (now that a first Java prototype using Swing
components has been coded) it is rather a pain to get that GUI code
running on platforms/jvms other than using Sun's newest J2SE, version
1.4.1 or 1.4.2. Thus, while the promised platform indepency of Java is
claimed, practice seems to far off this goal.
