Is that the thing called Kestrel (the Swing 1.1.1 version for jdk 1.2)?

Is it just me, or has the proliferation of versions done more to stall Java
than anything MS could think up?!

I'm so tired of being pulled in two directions... go with jdk 1.2 (a.k.a.
Java 2) to get "these" bug fixes... no, stay with 1.1.8 so swing will work
right.

This is rhetorical, but why on earth would you spend resources to fix an
extension (swing) to an old version of the jdk at the same time pushing a new
jdk which won't work with the "fixed" swing?

Just puzzled.  Please post replies to group _and_ sender.
