Jim:

Swing with 1.1.6 is most likely JFC 1.0 - 1.03 (classes in the com.sun
packages).  The best argument you could make is that those are dead code
threads.  No more fixes, ever.  Javasoft would like to forget the whole
mess ever happened.

Moving beyond 1.1.6 would probably mean moving to 1.1.8 and "real"
Swing.  A bit of work, but it gets you on a more modern code thread. 
However it doesn't look like there's gonna be a 1.1.9 (all the work is
really happening in the Java 2 space), and JB3 will get you there pretty
fast (and even has a tool to migrate your source).
