On 2006-05-14 IBM voted Yes with the following comment:
This JSR aims to address a common challenge for Swing developers - IBM acknowledges the underlying need which this JSR targets. Since Sun have proposed that this JSR will be considered for inclusion into Java SE 7.0, we suggest that the JSR-296 Expert Group take care to preserve the JSR's current scope as they progress. This is to ensure that JSR-296 doesn't grow into an unnecessarily large application framework which could further overload the Java SE platform in the future.

On 2006-05-15 SAS Institute Inc. voted Yes with the following comment:
SAS has similar scope concerns to what IBM has expressed.  The JSR as written is vague about the boundaries of this effort.  However, we have assurances from the spec lead that the scope of this JSR is much narrower relative to larger scale rich client platforms like NetBeans, Spring, and Eclipse and that this JSR will mesh well with the Java module system and Swing data binding efforts that are also underway.  Given these assurances, we are voting Yes.
