On extending Toolkit or GE public API

[Maxim Kartashev]

Unlike all the other windowing systems that JDK supports, Wayland does not
let you position windows on the screen directly. I have just finished
implementing support for popup-style windows (popups, tooltips, menus)
using xdg_positioner and had to plug in many instances of "if
(can-position-windows)" in the common code (i.e. Swing). I wonder if this
warrants an amendment to the public API so those checks can be less ad-hoc?
What would be the procedure for introducing a new method to Toolkit of
GraphicsEnvironment?
