Using AWT components inside a JInnerFrame (for JDesktopPane)

is there a way to hack bugs related to adding an AWT component (in my case a PApplet, so a processing language sketch) inside a JInternalFrame?

It works but not as intended, since it flickers and dragging the 开发者_StackOverflow社区frame causes repaint issues.. reading around it seems that, althrough it's possible to mix heavyweight (AWT) and lightweight (Swing) components some problems seem to be unavoidable.. is it true?

Thanks!
