latest cvs head of gcj, classpath or kaffe have a lot of swing stuff but
I think there a problems with some components. I don't think there is a
Debian package that could satisfy your application at the moment. Maybe
you can try to change the build system to easily test free compilers if
you have some time. Any report would be very useful.

Many thanks for your work.
