Can I use the Java2D capabilities with the 1.1 Java runtime environment?

The short answer is no. The libraries are part of the standard Java 2 platform release (starting with version 1.2). Since they modify core classes in the java.awt.* libraries, you can not pull them out and use them with another version. They are not a standard extension like Swing, but part of the standard release.
