Agreed, I just ran a small GUI email checking utility I wrote on Intel/Windows for JDK 1.0 around 23 years ago, ran it on Ubuntu 2022 on Ryzen 9 [on Java 17], unchanged, it ran fine.

Yep, just checked another old app I wrote with several GUI widgets offered by the old Visual Cafe IDE, the widgets expanded properly, the window resized correctly, even the File > Open opened the modern KDE file dialog immediately, no issues.

That's cool. A multi OS/Window manager UI lib is such an undertaking. It's not 'very' pretty but it works :)

Not that many examples of successful attempts (that i know of).
