I'd say thats fairly accurate. Of course, there are still bugs to fix 
and things to optimize in some areas, but most of the commonly used core 
packages, aside from Swing/AWT, are more or less complete.
Its worth noting that AWT support is much further along than Swing. 
We're fast approaching the point now where many non-trivial applications 
work with the GTK AWT peers, which is quite impressive.
