I'll give it a look.  thanks.

I did manage to get the android.Graphics.Bitmap into an java.awt.Image 
via an integer array, but of course the bimap methods for android called 
some android hardware native methods (for optimization I'm guessing) and 
it went to hell in a handbasket quickly.  Which brings up the point: 
would libGDX do me any good, since the problem I had was that the  
android jar files called native methods that dont exist on the PC?  The 
base code I'm writing is ultimately FOR android.

It is important to me that I be able to develop and unit test non-
hardware specific code directly on the PC, and deal with eclipse and 
android emulator only when really necessary.
