My impression is that WRI are not really interested in fixing the GUIKit now that you can make GUI's in notebooks, but Java GUI's tend to look nicer for non-Mathematica users. My SWP is an easier to use GUIKit (and has somewhat more documentation!) that now works directly with J/Link, so if you feel like converting, it is available free from my website. BTW, I have not converted the help system to use the DC - so it is probably best to open the help notebook and just read it. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
