Hmmm, in that case one should withdraw any LuaJava examples
dealing with AWT event handlers as they lead to the impres-
sion, that one could script graphical user interfaces - and
this seems to be wrong  (AWT and Swing rely on multi-threa-
ding)

Hmmm, this might be a condition  which I can't meet - but I
have to think over it.  Nevertheless,  the lack of  thread-
safety is a very severe restriction of LuaJava...

Thanks anyway for your important(!) remark!
