and there is a bounty :)
@graalvm @johanvos maybe @alina_yurenko and @fniephaus @thomaswue has more ideas. I wonder will we need to keep running runagent in the future of #graalvm ? and happy Friday
Fabio Niephaus@Ozzy @graalvm @johanvos @alina_yurenko @thomaswue @Ozzy I don't know how this gulonfx:runagent works but if it's using the Tracing Agent, then it should probably work. Currently, this is what you have to do. In the future, maybe reachability metadata could be provided so that AWT works out-of-the-box. However, this requires quite some work as AWT is anything but simple. :)
johanvos@fniephaus @Ozzy @graalvm @alina_yurenko @thomaswue In my mental model of the JDK, there is no AWT anymore. So very unlikely we will ever provide anything that helps with AWT.

To expand on this, I recommend this great blog entry from a great person: https://amyfowlersblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/a-heartfelt-ramble-on-swing-javafx/
We're 14 years later and Oracle is still doing more for AWT/Swing than for JavaFX. I strongly agree with what Amy said in 2010, and I politely disagree with Oracle's direction. If you want to keep doing AWT, fine. But I won't. I prefer to work on making Java relevant on the client again.
