The name "awt" in a library isn't a good way to divide it, but I don't have an alternative proposal because there is no good way to divide it. And I just don't agree with the premise. Or at least it is far outweighed by everything else. I see it just sowing confusion and having to change 2 files etc. So I don't support this change in any variation. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18743#issuecomment-2059664922
