 @JavaBean(defaultProperty="accessibleContext", description="A toplevel window which has no system border or controls.") public class JWindow extends Window implements Accessible, RootPaneContainer AJWindowis a container that can be displayed anywhere on the user's desktop. It does not have the title bar, window-management buttons, or other trimmings associated with aJFrame, but it is still a "first-class citizen" of the user's desktop, and can exist anywhere on it.The JWindowcomponent contains aJRootPaneas its only child. ThecontentPaneshould be the parent of any children of theJWindow. As a convenience, theadd,remove, andsetLayoutmethods of this class are overridden, so that they delegate calls to the corresponding methods of theContentPane. For example, you can add a child component to a window as follows:window.add(child);And the child will be added to the contentPane. ThecontentPanewill always be non-null. Attempting to set it tonullwill cause theJWindowto throw an exception. The defaultcontentPanewill have aBorderLayoutmanager set on it. Refer toRootPaneContainerfor details on adding, removing and setting theLayoutManagerof aJWindow.Please see the JRootPanedocumentation for a complete description of thecontentPane,glassPane, andlayeredPanecomponents.In a multi-screen environment, you can create a JWindowon a different screen device. SeeWindowfor more information.Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy. Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beanspackage. Please seeXMLEncoder.- Since:
