Regarding to the reduction of the java.desktop module size:
Has Swing any circular dependency with other java.desktop parts? I know about only one, Desktop::setDefaultJMenuBar, which is only to be introduced in Java 9. If that dependency could be broken (by replacing the parameter type from Swing JMenuBar to AWT MenuBar), Swing could be extracted into a new module. Therefore the java.desktop size (28 MB including natives) would decrease by 7 MB.
And the non-default LookAndFeels (Nimbus, Windows, GTK, Synth, Multi, Aqua, Motif) could be also moved out to their own module, they are 2,5 MB.

Hi. Is java.desktop now divided in separate parts, or are there plans to do so? Because actually the whole point of your application having no unneeded dependencies is broken if you want java.beans, and suddenly get the whole desktop apis that are probably large, with their dependencies.
