Generally, we have most of the icons that are needed atm, which is not 
to say that we are complete with icons. There are a lot of things 
missing in Swing and in the future we might need more icons for sure.

As long as your code is really done by yourself this should be no problem.

That is not generally true, but in the case of Metal I try to come close 
to the Metal look and feel, which is documented here:

If you really want to contribute stuff to GNU Classpath, you should look 
at these pages:

Most importantly, we would need a copyright assignment from you, since 
this cannot be considered a minor contribution that we accept without 
assigment.
