Hi, Maksim. I am glad to hear that you are interested to implement missed functionality in Harmony class library and I will be happy to support you in this task: as mentor, as person who knows a little about Harmony AWT/2D/Swing architecture and as committer.
However, I would agree with Tim that 100% complete J2SE 5 implementation is more realistic task for the summer of code. Nevertheless, I am afraid that this task is not realistic enough for one student for 3 months. You got a chance to improve completeness significantly. Tim and Alexei have counted most tricky areas already: RTF parser for Swing, Drag-and-Drop, Clipboard support, javax.swing package completeness (more then 300 unimplemented methods), javax.imageio and so on. Feel free to ask for any help. Thanks in advance.
