Same with the libgcj code.

Some of the 1.0 event support came in via the merge.  Mostly it is
unimplemented.  My approach for now has been to make sure that the 1.0
methods and the like are available so that legacy code can at least
compile.  It won't run correctly though.

Bits of the Java2D code came in via the merge, too, but not very much.
There's plenty of code to write for anybody with a flair for geometry.

My hope is that we can have a reasonable (meaning "can run the games
from Yahoo" :-) AWT in time for gcj 3.2 (which I think goes into
freeze in August).  That may be wildly optimistic.
