At FOSDEM this year there was a nice talk about the status of Swing in GNU Classpath. The core message was, a year ago (Nov 2004 to be exact), Classpath's Swing implementation was essentially useless. Classes existed but even basic functionality didn't work; according to the talk we had about 74% of the methods in place -- but about a quarter of those were just stubs. The situation is completely different today. Most of the Swing patches I see are either for the text widgets (which are the last incomplete piece) or bug fixes to make applications work. So, please be a little patient. We've put a lot of effort into the basics, and these are pretty solid now. We are very near having the needed critical mass, where suddenly many more applications will work.
