There has been little activity around fixing the Java2D and Swing code for a while, which clearly reflects the current interests of the group. I can only speculate about why that is the case. However, there is vibrant activity and interest in other areas and those are getting used in various "production systems". So if you are saying that there is work to do, then "yes!", of course, and people who want to participate by submitting bug reports and patches are most welcome. Regards, Tim
