The Eclipse code that uses the XEmbeddedFrame is most likely the
SWT_AWT bridge.  This class is a platform-dependent hack that's used
to embed AWT/Swing within SWT apps, and vice versa.

See: 
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/awt/SWT_AWT.html

It'd be interesting to see how Classpath could provide APIs that allow
similar function to SWT - as this function can not be achived using
the public Java api.
