From what you have written, I will be sure to make my code backwards
compatible with AWT plugins, as well as providing an upgraded Swing
UI and facility for newer Swing plugins. It is quite doable in my opinion.

I think I will just let my work speak for itself and post back when I have
worked it out. Unless someone else has other information that might
be helpful towards this end I will leave it at that for now.

Kind regards,
