As long Swing/J2D is available, it should available,
at least in it's AWT subset, as it is now.

Why not ?
Little footprint, mostly common reused code.

That is a good Q, indeed.

Does it *still* work with curren JOGL ?
I haven't tested it much, besides the junit test of GLJPanel,
which doesn't test the J2D interop based on external GL context etc (AFAIK).

For all who this is important to .. pls help to make sure it works.
You can discuss it here, tune the GLJPanel tests .. offer patches etc.

For me and my folks, GLJPanel and J2D has the lowest priority indeed.
However, your contribution is very welcome.
