Short rule goes like this:

1) The bits that are actual parts of the extension are in
   javax.swing.*
2) The parts that are Sun-specific - platform-dependent look and
   feels, mostly - are in the company hierarchy.

So: com.sun.java.swing.plaf.{motif,windows,mac}.* are not in
javax.swing because they're tied to their particular platforms.
