Project Detail

Description

** Brief description
Implement a java component for grabbing a X11-window and move it
dynamically on top of a JPanel.

** Usecase
Our JAVA Swing Application has to start a native x11 program. This program
create a X11-window (like xterm, xclock, firefox, ..) independent to our
Swing application. To get a better look and feel, we would like to make
this window dependent to our application by moving it dynamically
and in real time exactly above a special JPanel.
So, the user does not know about the external program.

** Description
Implementing a java component which grabs a defined windows (e.g. by window name)
from the current X11-display and move it dynamically and in real time
exactly at the top of a special JPanel component. Moving the JPanel should also
move the x11-window.
