I agree. The seperation of layers is really bad and they keep making
changes... I think Sun's real problem is the JNI which is not very
useful for client side Java (thank goodness for GCJ and CNI).
Perhaps you guys would consider doing a Swing port for GCJ? Using low
level stuff called from CNI when necessary?
I don't *think* there's an existing one in the pipeline.

I applaud you.
But I also think you're both quite mad.
