Isn't Event a 1.0 class that was obsolted in 1.1?  I'm pretty sure I didn't
implement it.

The AWT code (with a very few exception) has all been banged in by yours
truly.  Paul Fisher also wrote a peer set for GTK+.  The Classpath AWT
is definitely not debugged, so there is a lot of opportunity to improve
things.

However, the situation is that RMS does not want to relicense the AWT
code user the same terms as the rest of Classpath (GPL + Exception).
Honestly, I would prefer that no AWT development take place until there
is a solution to that problem.  I do not want to have Red Hat write yet
another AWT implementation.
