Fabrizio,

Wrong and wrong again.

First, 90% of Java developers do not use Swing or AWT. I don't have
exact figures but many do pure server-side or web development. They do
not care about desktop Java libraries beyond having a working IDE.

Second, SoyLatte is "substantially derived" from OpenJDK and is
therefore eligible to receive a TCK licence from Oracle. It is not
incomplete, it supports Swing and AWT via X11, which may give crappy
usability but is good enough for TCK compliance. Therefore SoyLatter
definitely can be 100% certified Java.

Regards,
Neil
