I am quite interested in this topic. I've browsed through the Chainsaw
source code and at first blush it seems very strongly coupled with
AWT. Have you given any thought to what core pieces of Chainsaw (if
any) might be pulled further away from the UI?

Regards,

Sure, we've thought about it.  But like many pieces of software 
development, sometimes you only realise the best way to really do things 
after you've taken a good go at it via one approach.

Do you have any big areas within Chainsaw that you think are a little 
too 'close' to Swing than they should be?  The core 'bus' logic that 
gets LoggingEvents from the log4j bus and distributes them to the 
appropriate listener, and many of the *Model related classes are 
probably not UI specific.  The main gui areas are of course Swing 
specific, and would need to be rewritten for SWT if we went that way for 
an Eclipse plugin. 

Feel free to make suggestions, and supply patches if you get an itch to 
pitch in and help if you like, it would be well received.

cheers,

Paul Smith
