The last volume of ``Swing Sightings'' is number 23 dated March 16th, 2006.

1). Has this project been abandoned?

2). Why are so many of the screenshots shown using a Windows platform? Can't
Sun Microsystems encourage the use of Java (or at least Java's publicity)
on their own systems?

The publication, apparently so. The classes, apparently not.

If over 90% of your potential customers drove a Chevy would you
advertise your custom seat covers by showing them working in a Dodge?
