For what my opinion is worth (on a good day, a cup of coffee, but not at Caffè Florian), this would be an excellent thing to have. It will never be easy to work on the core Java APIs in a totally modular way (because Sun didn't design things that way), but with such a set of stubs one could at least work on a group of classes in isolation and be able to compile them to bytecode. Furthermore the stubs can readily be used for white-box testing during development, by simply adding println()s. Go for it!
