Java SE support for Wayland

Hi,

does anybody know whether it is already planned for the Java SE to support Wayland as a rendering back end for Java based desktop applications ?

You can bump all you want - the fact that nobody is answering is the answer to your question.

I can venture an educated guess though: no, it is not planned. Why would it?

Because Qt and Gtk already provide an initial support for it and maybe in the near future Linux distribution will no longer provide an X11 server, which is currently needed by the Linux rendering back ends of Java AWT/SWING.
