You're welcome, Dhevendran.
Thank you for the clarification on the Swing vs. FX choice. So, it's
clearly not the certified/not certified issue, but rather some technical
and temporary *) licensing issues. I understand that, and your choice
looks reasonable now.
*) temporary - until the FX media bits are open-sourced.
