Advantages of forward sweep?

Hi All...

Just wondered if anybody could clear up the confusion regarding forward sweep of a wing? Are there any advantages to it?

I know that (amongst other things) wings with rearward sweep promote positive static stability, would forward swept wings do the opposite?

Thanks in advance,
