Can somebody in the know possibly summarize the current state of a comprehensive AWT-free integration of JogAmp JOGL and SWT, perhaps focusing on what's left to do as of RC10?

I know this topic has been tossed around now and then on the forums, and Sven has said that it hasn't been a priority for reasons that are easy to understand.

I ask because our group recently discarded our Eclipse 3.x prototype front-end and started over with Eclipse 4.  The experience under E4 has been a good one and things are working very well.  However, our JOGL components are still sitting on top of the SWT_AWT bridge, and that has always felt kind of like a Rube Goldberg machine that should be eliminated.
