Why are the classes not useable ... ? > The proposal is to have more package from classpath.

The first two are just APIs (am I right?), and the second one is all the swing code. I didn't think that classpath had anything close to a complete swing implementation. Do you just want the swing classes to be able to compile other packages against the swing api? > I think if we can do that, some libraries can leave contrib to main! > :-) > > It's my first proposal so I do not know where we go from here?
