In my opinion the only area to use Cairo is the Java2D part of AWT.
Unfortunately any additional layer between 2D and native calls may
dramatically affect the performance of UI, especially Swing.
GNU Classpath is using Cairo, but I think a better plan now would be to
use jogl (JSR231, whose reference implementation has a very liberal
license). Sun has done some interesting work with their OpenGL single
threaded rendering backend to address the JNI overhead issue. You get
nice 2d/3d integration as well.
Good point!
