Hi Joel,

Congratulations for this excellent project!!

If I understend, it's possible to compile java code to binary code?
Yes, Avian supports either JIT (just-in-time) or AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation to machine code, or a mix of both. 


A SWT application runs with avian?


Yes.
Please direct any further questions or comments about Avian to [EMAIL PROTECTED], since they're off-topic for this list. Thanks. 



Thank you

 Avian[1] will do this well enough to run e.g. Eclipse, Tomcat, Jython,
 etc., but I haven't tested any Swing/AWT apps yet.  OpenJDK 6 is
 supported, and I've just started on a OpenJDK 7 port.
