Improve_Next_Year: One fun event of a recent JavaOne was a \"Collections trial\", where Josh Block and some other guy were made to \"stand trial\", answer questions from the audience and generally \"justify\" the java.util.Collection framework (a very debated framework that they designed and wrote).

A similar thing could be done for any of the core components (SWT would be a good candidate ;)
