Hi Phil,
One of the most glaring holes to date in the openjdk sources are a
couple of dozen 2D classes
visible at the API level in the packages java.awt.color, java.awt.image,
and java.awt.image.renderable.
These have been held back from the sources (but included in the binary
plugs) until we (Sun)
established we could release these under GPL v2 +CP (ie same as most of
the rest as OpenJDK)
Just today we got the OK to do that, so at the next opportunity these
classes will appear
in the open jdk sources.
This is supercool! Thanks alot!
Cheers, Roman
PS: Unfortunately, they don't appear to be in the freshly released JDK6
sources. But waiting another few days only makes the release sweeter ;-)
Yes, those changes for the OpenJDK 6 sources are in the works:
