I would much prefer to write conversion scripts to convert existing code, 
rather than offer source level backwards compatibility, so I think we should 
give that a high priority. But if the job couldn't be done with scripts we 
have a problem. I'm actually encouraged that you have useful existing code - 
I've tended to assume because this list has been so quiet there isn't much 
interest, and backwards compatibility doesn't matter much.

These days, I only really get emails from people who want to build SWT on top 
of Qt (not possible because of license problems), but the depressing thing is 
that QtJava is technically ahead of SWT in one or two ways. eg WORA works, 
look and feel is better, juic Qt Designer support on the way, and you can't 
write KDE apps in SWT..
