Tim, that's an interesting thought, but I would imagine it would be a bug-testing nightmare, as you would be beholden to the compilers to get it right. I would prefer to trust the Java VM on each machine only. If I was only writing for a single machine, I would consider it (but only if I didn't...

Thanks DaWickedRebel and Diancecht for your replies. I've looked at JOGL and SWT and in theory they would do the trick, but I might be pushing them too hard with what I want to do. I'm really looking for comments from people who've either attempted this before or something like it who can say...
