Abstract :
This research tries to improve the portability of Java AWT(Abstract Window Toolkit) for embedded systems. We want to have a new graphic library which is easier to port than current AWT and to shorten the porting time. The proposed graphic library consists of two layers. The bottom (native) layer defines a minimum set of graphic primitives that needs porting, and all the other AWT required primitives are group into the upper (Java) layer. We implemented the graphic library to support AWT on two configurations. One is a purely software Implementation and the other is equipped with a Java processor. The performance of the former is not practical, and the latter has good improvements as compared with the former. Further enhancement to the proposed library is undertaking.
