Licensing kAWT provides many advantages, for hardware
manufacturers as well as for software developers:
- Building applications based on kAWT saves development
ressources. Normally, JAVA developers are already used to AWT
programming, and kAWT provides a higher level interface than the
alternatives.
- Licensing kAWT is significantly cheaper than implementing
an AWT subset from scratch, even as basis for differing
implemetations If we would have known the effort
from beginnig, we would never have started.
- A kAWT port to different hardware can be performed quickly,
providing fast time to market.
