I know there is work going on to generate Java bytecodes from Ada,
but I'm after a little something different.

Is it feasible and reasonable to want to use Java awt as a portable
  GUI toolkit?
Can awt be executed outside of the Java?
If not, can some sort of Java stub code be used without getting in
  the way too much?

Thanks,
