AWT Peer Implementation
Document the AWT Peer Implementation JNode concept in the wiki.
Value: 5
Concept Summary
Swing-based AWT peer implementation for lightweight rendering. The AWT peer implementation provides the bridge between Java AWT/Swing abstract widgets and the underlying graphics and input systems, enabling cross-platform UI code to run on JNode.
Key Files

Occurrences
~200 references in Swing peers package
Wiki Status
Partially covered (AWT-Peer-Implementation.md)
Bridges
GUI, AWT, Swing, Graphics
Instructions
Skill to Use
Use the [[update-wiki|update-wiki skill]] (load with skill({ name: "update-wiki" })) for understanding JNode internals.
Context Research
Study the AWT peer implementation to understand how Swing widgets integrate with JNode's GUI subsystem. Review SwingFramePeer.java and DesktopFrame.java to understand the peer architecture. Research how input events are delivered to peers and how graphics rendering works.

# AWT Peer Implementation
> Swing-based AWT peer implementation for lightweight rendering.
## Overview
2-3 paragraph explanation of the AWT peer implementation, how it bridges Swing and JNode graphics, and how it enables cross-platform GUI code.
## Key Components
| Class / File | Role |
|---|---|
| `gui/src/awt/org/jnode/awt/swingpeers/SwingFramePeer.java` | Swing frame peer implementation |
| `gui/src/awt/org/jnode/awt/swingpeers/DesktopFrame.java` | Desktop frame implementation |
## How It Works
Explanation of how AWT peers work, how Swing widgets are integrated with JNode GUI, and how input and graphics are handled.
## Gotchas & Non-Obvious Behavior
- Peers must be careful about threading and.awt threading model
- Graphics rendering must work with JNode video drivers
- Input event delivery must match AWT semantics
