What do you mean with this?
Does this mean, that Graphics is based on Graphics2D and so for plain AWT or 
Swing programs Cairo is needed?

I don't hope so. I have the hope, that it goes in any time the other way 
around, that Graphics2D is based on Graphics and created with the plain 
AWT-Graphics.
So it would also be easier to port free Javas to Windows and MacOSX. 
Something like Sun does with its implementation. So that on Windows and 
MacOSX "only" the bindings to GTK+ are ported to the Windows-API and the 
Aqua-API.
But if Cairo is needed, it seems, that you also need later on Windows and 
MacOSX Cairo. And that is something what I don't like.
