The java.desktop module is going to be a prime candidate for further breakdown, probably after Java 9 I guess. It is huge and ships all 3 widget toolkits when most apps need only one.

What's the third one? I'm only aware of AWT and Swing. I though that JavaFX was already in its own modules. Is it really realistic to only use one toolkit when Swing is built on AWT and has AWT base classes?

What bothers me more is that things like Java Beans are in java.desktop.
