[PROPOSAL & PATCH] using AWT instead of Swing

[Takashi Okamoto <to...@rd.nttdata.co.jp>]

Hello ,jakarta-regexp developers (maybe Jon?).

I propose using Frame instead of JFrame at REDemo.java.
I'm preparing jakarta-regexp package for Debian GNU Linux.
DFSG (Debian Free Software Guildeline) says:

-----
If you source package can compile (correctly) only
with non-free tools (the only free Java compilers seems to be guavac
and gcj and may be jikes if it changes its licence), it
cannot go to main. If your package itself is free, it must goes to
contrib.
-----

However Jakarta-Regexp depends on Swing ,and I can't build
jakarta-regexp package as Debian 'main' package beause Swing is
non-free.

Fortunately ,we are permited to redistribute modified jakarta-regexp
under Apache Software License.
I used Frame instead of JFrame at REDemo and it's no problem.
Could you use Frame instead of JFrame ,please?
It will be better that original code doesn't depend non-free library:-)

regards.
