Q about geom implementation

Mon Nov 22 01:10:00 GMT 2004

I notice that several methods such as RectangularShape.getBounds2D are missing 
according to the comparison of gcj with jdk. I can see that they get 
implemented by the concrete implementations of classes such as Rectangle2D.Double.
However, if a client program were to derive a class from RectangularShape, it 
could break due to the absence of this method. So, I wanted to ask those who 
know for opinions on providing implementations for the missing methods in 
java.awt.geom.
Thanks,
