Q about geom implementation

[Jerry Quinn]

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,
Jerry Quinn
