The current project de jour is called Caffeine.

Have you ever been frustrated with bulky application frameworks? Because they must be "all things to all people" they simply are too large and too complicated. At times the programmer wants a windowing class library -- something smaller and faster.
Better yet would be a windowing class library that is cross-platform. Most platform specific code is in the GUI. So if the class library took care of all of that then that leaves you writing the important code! Even better would be a windowing API that is easy to learn and that many coders already know. Why reinvent the wheel (or the API)? Caffeine is the name of a project to move much of the Java API over to a cross-platform natively compiled C++ class library.
