Hi Aleksey, Thank you for your interest in our harmony-demo-1 project.

Enabling such a big Swing app is a difficult task by itself, and three months is a rather aggressive time constraint. So IMO it is better to concentrate on FreeCol itself trying to enable it step by step. IMO you won't have enough time to enable all Swing test in addition to FreeCol - it is too big work. However, if you like tests so much you can probably change the focus of your project from FreeCol to tests and create the corresponding proposal. BTW, taking into account we already have another person who like to participate in FreeCol enabling, probably you can be interested in other Swing/AWT related areas like - RTF parser implementation, part of Swing, not implemented - Drag'n'Drop, part of Swing, not implemented ? I'm not insisting, just like to inform you there are other tasks in the same area.
