The GUI itself (i.e., how it operated, what menus were where, etc.) was fine, but it was completely useless for anyone sitting at a remote host, due to dreadful image quality and poor performance when displaying anywhere other than on the console of the machine on which SPlus was actually running.
AFAIK the problem is the X server: it gives you a black window if the X display is 16-bit. If you can live with 8-bit display, the Java GUI will work. It's that way on all Unix (X?) platform.
I thought Java on Linux would do 8 and 24, but not 16? (or something truly weird like that). But that doesn't address performance issues, which still can be pretty bad. best, -tony
