A good place to start would be to run the Intel test suite and see if there are bugs you can fix (some are easy, some not so easy): http://sourceware.org/ml/mauve-discuss/2006-q2/msg00012.html Another useful task would be to try getting third party look-and-feels to work with our javax.swing implementation. In theory, they should work...in practice, I'm sure some tweaks to our implementation will be required. Outside of Swing, it would be great if you/someone could try out iText (a PDF generation library) to see how well it works on GNU Classpath: http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ Anyway, welcome aboard! Regards, Dave P.S. I'll put some notes about these on the wiki when I get a chance.
