In the Sun (or Sun-derived) SE and EE versions, yes. Not in ME, and
not in kaffe as of my last inspection (some time ago, alas). One
area I have found to be particularly poorly supported (in various
VMs on Windows, where I'm actually paid to pay attention to such
things) is in the parameters to Scrollbar: setLineIncrement and
setPageIncrement are frequently missing or ineffective in Java2
implementations. Within the core classes, coverage is better,
but by no means perfect; unfortunately, I don't have examples
ready to hand for those.
