Java Blues

Every time I start working with Java, I encounter something really annoying. Recently, I installed Eclipse on my Debian Linux machine and started working with a simple GUI using AWT...and the GUI looked awful and did not perform the actions as expected. After some searching, I found that GCJ currently does not support AWT.

This sort of thing just irritates me... Sure, I can install Sun's Java and configure Eclipse to use it. It would just be time spent doing something that I would rather not do.

Java has been out for many years, so one would expect some maturity and common functionality between Java implementations. I just want to be able to write some applications without constantly having to tweak the environment...that's all that I ask and it's not asking for all that much.
