Where can I find a Java package for handling MDI? There is nothing 
obvious in SWT.

One reason I was thinking of having a WindowCommon class is that an 
application should have only one instance of the Display widget. It 
could go in a static initializer in WindowCommon. 

It seems to me that an abstract class combines the advantages of an 
ordinary class and an interface. The methods defined in that clas can be 
called from a class which extends it, and that class can also implement 
methods which are only declared as in an interface.

With MDI the class hierarchy becomes something like WPManager, 
DocumentManager, Daisy and braille wondows.
