As far as I can tell Swing and AWT were pretty much abandoned years ago except for maintenance.

So removal at this point is out of the question. I doubt that Oracle will remove the whole desktop module from their JDK, so even Oracle JDK will most probably carry AWT+Swing. My reading is a bit less *heaven will fall*: * The java plugin is dead (thanks go to the browser makers) * Java Web Start is mostly dead and was never open source. Interested parties could place their money on Red Hat, which might have its open source successor (Iced Tea Web) * JavaFX is not part of the Oracle JDK anymore * The future of Swing and AWT is not yet decided To read more into the white-paper is just reading tea-leaves. It might be fun, but the future is not told there.
