| <title>Swing based AWT peers</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| <h1>Swing based AWT peers.</h1> |
| <p>This package defines an abstract set of AWT peers that is based on Swing |
| widgets. This can be used as an implementation base for peer implementors |
| who don't have access to native widgets or who want to build a quick |
| prototype of a peer set without implementing all of the AWT widgets. |
| </p> |
| <p>An actual implementation would have to provide the following: |
| <ul> |
| <li>A concrete implementation of {@link java.awt.Toolkit}, possibly based |
| on {@link SwingToolkit}. This implementation must provide all the missing |
| methods of the <code>SwingToolkit</code>.</li> |
| <li>Concrete implementations of {@link java.awt.peer.DialogPeer}, |
| {@link java.awt.peer.FramePeer} and {@link java.awt.peer.WindowPeer}, |
| ideally based on their <code>SwingXXXPeer</code> counterparts. |
| Some methods must be specially |
| overridden in those peers to provide useful functionality, like |
| <code>getLocationOnScreen()</code>. See the API documentation for more |
| details</li> |
| <li>An implementation of {@link java.awt.Image}. These must be provided by |
| the toplevel component peers.</li> |
| <li>An implementation of {@link java.awt.Graphics}. This must also be |
| provided by the toplevel peers.</li> |
| <li>An implementation of {@link java.awt.Font}. This must be |
| provided by the toolkit.</li> |
| </ul> |
