Last I heard you still had to call out into JavaScript, manipulating the same old DOM to get anything done.
Maybe someone could set up a library that implements Swing on top of a HTML Canvas? Just waiting for all the classes to download would help with that nostalgic feeling.
The cheerpj implementation of swing seems to work quite well. Just some lag when it loads resources not quite asynchronously and hard crashing sometimes when I switch the look and feel to Motif. Better than I expected.
