I guess I don't understand why this is the right solution.
If the symbol -in both cases - is made internal won't that be better ? I can't think why it needs to be exported.
Is the AWT one being used by some other client library ? If so may be that other library needs its own.
And calling it "jvm" is common so are these the only two ?
