I did not receive any responses to my first message, so I am going to
try again:

Is anyone interested in "Tk" functionality in java/applets?  The
number one thing I am interested in is being able to draw polygon
"items" and know when my mouse has entered one of these-- so far every
graphic applet I've seen that has anything even remotely similar to
this has used rectangles and bounding boxes.

Can anything like this (tcl+tk) be done in java at this time to get
the same functionality?

[FIRST, multi-button mouse support?]
    bind ${c} <Button-3> {MenuPopupPost ${c}.menu %X %Y}
    bind ${c} <ButtonRelease-3> {MenuPopupRelease ${c}.menu %W}
[but more importantly, these <any> bindings...]
  $c bind all <Any-Enter> "scrollEnter $c"
  $c bind all <Any-Leave> "scrollLeave $c"
  $c bind all <1> "scrollButton $c"
  bind $c <2> "$c scan mark %x %y"
  bind $c <B2-Motion> "$c scan dragto %x %y"

Using bounding boxes is cheating and it just doesn't work when you
need/want to display complex graphics...

Second-- are there are archives of java code anywhere?  And I don't
mean distributed archives found by using hotjava either...
