[kaffe] Jsynthlib and Kaffe

[David Griffith]

Jsynthlib (http://www.jsynthlib.org) is a Java program for creating,
saving, and editing the settings on several different synthesizers.  This
is what happens when I try to start Jsynthlib:

$ java -verbosecall  -jar JSynthLib-0.20.0.jar
[snip]
soft_trace: java/beans/PropertyChangeSupport.firePropertyChange(Ljava/
 lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)V
soft_trace: java/beans/PropertyChangeEvent.<init>(Ljava/lang/
 Object;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)V
soft_trace: java/util/EventObject.<init>(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
soft_trace:
java/beans/PropertyChangeSupport.firePropertyChange(Ljava/beans/
 PropertyChangeEvent;)V
soft_trace: javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalLookAndFeel.
 initComponentDefaults(Ljavax/swing/UIDefaults;)V

At this point, the process hangs.

This URL: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=kaffe+jsynthlib tells me
that there's something fundamentally wrong with Kaffe and Swing which is
causing this problem.  Can anyone here shed some light on what's going on
and what's being done to fix the problem?
