Currently you'd want to place things in projects/swing/javax/swing.
When the sources were imported into subversions I wanted this to be
moved back to javax/swing since we don't really need to separate it
like that anymore. As we don't have file access to subversions this
can't be done without getting the admins involved at this point.
gnu/javax/swing would indeed be for helper classes or swing related
project code (like another l&f).
There are plenty of simple classes to implement in Swing. The harder
ones (in my mind) will be all of the *UI classes for each of Basic,
Java, Windows, Mac, Motif. The first to implement is Basic since I
think every one of the rest extend it although you could obviously
work on another if you wanted to test using Swing as part of your
classpath to begin with.
Someone else mentioned they were working on Swing, I should update the
web pages with what parts are being worked on now. Now for everyone
to write in and tell us exactly what parts they have done or are
working on.
Me, I'm working on the javax.accessibility package.
