Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for a common set of Component Peer classes for the Java abstract windowing toolkit (AWT). The native methods employed by the various platform-specific versions of a Peer class are similar in operation, but contain differences in the source code of the C/C++ functions that implement them. Consequently, they represent distinct bodies of software, which must be supported and maintained separately. The present invention provides a basis for replacing the diverse versions of the Component Peers with a single set, employing a standardized set of native methods. This results in a unique codebase for the Component Peers, across all the supported operating systems, thereby reducing the effort required to maintain and upgrade the software.
