How is AWT implemented for Solaris?

ie: What native libraries, if any, is it dependent on.

+1  A: 

For Sun JRE: Old school MToolkit use Motify. From 1.5 I think, there is XToolkit which just use xlib. From memory Solaris kept the MToolkit as the default longer than on Linux. It's switchable with the AWT_TOOLKIT environment variable.
