Yes, I encountered this during my preliminary hacking of ImageJ. In the end,
it is no problem at all. My version compiles, runs and opens images correctly
using Swing replacements despite ImageCanvas still inheriting from an AWT
Canvas.

They coexist happily at this point. Still need to check into plugins to see if
I have broken them in the process. It's a start.

I am also looking into ImageJX to see what the possibilities are.

Cheers,

Raymond
