Yes, we (AWT and Swing) would definitely like to participate. However, 
pushing to jdk8/tl forest doesn't look as the right choice: we'll get 
conflicts with our own changes on synchronization with jdk8 master. As 
java/sun.awt.* and javax.swing.* packages are quite separate from other 
JDK parts, wouldn't it be easier to integrate fixes to awt-swing forest?

Thanks,
