One of our graduate students at Naval Postgraduate School, a Major
in the U.S. Marine Corps,  used JGNAT as part of  his Master's Degree thesis
to create a GUI interface to a Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS).
There was one problem with the tasking model in the current JGNAT
which ACT promise to fix someday.   We did a workaround on that.

The GUI runs quite well over the JVM.

Since that student graduated, one of our other professors is  using
this GUI in his class on real-time systems.   Eventually, another graduate
student will take over the system and enhance it as part of a thesis for
his/her master's degree in computer science.
