I'm well acquainted with the Sun-internal bureaucratic process. I encourage the libpng upgrade to happen, but it's not high enough priority for me to do the work. > Currently I don't see the suggested change is justified since using the > standard build environment does not reproduce the problem. OpenJDK is a community effort, and no longer just a Sun effort. For us this is a P1 bug, since it is a compilation error in our environment. If we cannot get a fix for this accepted upstream, we would be forced to fork.

Adding options to use the system versions of these graphics libraries is integrated into IcedTea already. IcedTea and Sun AWT engineers should work together to put such changes into OpenJDK7. Martin
