Try an android developer forum. This group mostly deals with
programming
on 'real' computers.
Java on a 1 GHz CPU with 512 MB RAM was a real computer just a few
years ago.
That said, this problem looks like something is trying to use
unix-specific AWT operations; are you using a unix platform? Why
would there be AWT going on inside Eclipse, which uses SWT? This
looks like a configuration problem. Are you using a supported
platform for whatever this editor is?
Android is a Linux kernel.
The APIs and deployment model are different. Your observations are
interesting but irrelevant.
I don't know if it is relevant or not.
But note that both the topics:
- whether Android phone is real computer
- whether Android is a Unix platform
was raised by you.
True. But the scare quotes around 'real' indicate that i'm not using it
for its literal meaning, and so not suggesting that Android machines are
not actually computers,
So what meaning of real were you using?
and from a GUI point of view, which is what was
under discussion, Android is *not* a unix platform.
It is a Linux platform and since Linux is not Unix certified
then it is not a true Unix, but it is sure Unix like.
Or do you reckon
there's an X server in there somewhere?
Whether there is an X server or not should not have much to
do with whether it is Unix or not.
There are plenty of Unixes that run without X.

PS: Android does not come with X, but smart people have made
it run on Android.
