Colour me slowpoke ... Swing on J#

I'd not caught this before:

The Microsoft Supplemental UI Library provides much of the functionality described in the Java 2 JFC Swing specification. It also adds support for much of the functionality found in the JDK 1.2 java.util package.

…

Version 2.0 of the Supplemental UI Library is included as part of the Visual J# Version 2.0 Redistributable Package. No additional download is required.

…

To access the functionality in the Supplemental UI Library, simply add a reference to VJSSupUILib.dll in your project.

Betterer and betterer…

Of course this throws a little bit of a spanner in the works of the Jythonizer effort -- I might have subclassed javax.swing.JFrame, but not the component that I get from calling its shiny new contentPane attribute delegating to getContentPane(). Oh, well. At least I might be able to get some cute tricks along the lines of some of the ideas in Swing Hacks instead.
