JavaOne demo for JavaFX and SunSpot

There is a pair of SunSpots placed on the yellow gloves Denis wearing. They track location and transfer some events to the FX application (actually, a bunch of different JavaFX applications shown on the screen). Technically speaking, no changes are required for FX side.
Denis, thank you for the demonstration! You look like Luke Skywalker there :)

*Introduction*

When there were no other tasks I've gathered a requests statistics on the GridBagLayout class changes. I considered both defects and RFEs.
By the way, we seem have to refuse that division and treat each defect now as RFE.

I was surprised by the fact that there are only 14 CRs inquire one or another change in the GridBagLayout class behavior.
