Hi Pavel,<br><br>Thanks for your explanation.<br><br>But this bug affects almost all Swing components, hide()&#39;s presence also helps to maintain backward compatibility, so is it possible to put a fix in JComponent to help all the potential affected applications to work correctly? if not, is it there any sunset plan for these deprecated APIs?<br>
<br>Thanks and best regards!<br><br>- Jonathan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/3/20 Pavel Porvatov <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:pavel.porvatov@oracle.com" target="_blank">pavel.porvatov@oracle.com</a>&gt;</span><br>

          Hi, Jonathan,<br>
          <br>
          I&#39;m adding swing-dev to CC as we now consider changing Swing
          code.<br>
          <br>
          What you propose sounds technically reasonable, but I don&#39;t
          think it is worth doing anyway as show() and hide() have been
          deprecated for years now.<br>
        </blockquote>
        <div><br>
          Although show() and hide() have been deprecated for years, in
          my opinion supporting these APIs will still benefit many
          applications and convince users that Java still has got strong
          backward compatibility :D. Any ideas from Swing group?<br>
        </div>
      </div>

    I don&#39;t see why the words &quot;backward compatibility&quot; are here. There
    is a bug in deprecated methods &quot;show&quot; and &quot;hide&quot; (I&#39;ve checked that
    jdk5 has the same problem), and that&#39;s one additional reason to use
    setVisible(). I agree with Artem that fixing deprecated API is not a
    high priority task (but we should keep backward compatibility, of
    course). I also think, that &quot;to leave all as is&quot; is a good decision
    for the described problem<br>

          Even if we accept the change in JComponent.hide(), we should

          non-opaque, so we should repaint from its parent), so there

               Hi, Jonathan,<br>
            <br>
               given the code in java.awt.Component, your statement
            about<br>
               difference between hide() and setVisible(false) looks
            pretty strange<br>
               to me. Indeed, here is the implementation:<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            <br>
                   public void show(boolean b) {<br>
                       if (b) {<br>
                           show();<br>
                       } else {<br>
                           hide();<br>
                       }<br>
                   }<br>
            <br>
               and<br>
            <br>
                   public void setVisible(boolean b) {<br>
                       show(b);<br>
                   }<br>
            <br>
               In JComponent the latter method is overridden and adds
            exactly what<br>
               you propose: parent.repaint(). This addition makes sense
            for<br>
               lightweight components (e.g. Swing), but heavyweight AWT
            components<br>
               shouldn&#39;t require this: repaint request is sent from the
            native system.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            Yes, lightweight and  heavyweight components differ in
            painting. The<br>
            original test case only works for the conditions of
            lightweight<br>
            components, with another test case for heavyweight
            components, I found<br>
            that the problem could not be reproduced on AWT any more. I
            think the<br>
            change is only applicable for Swing components, so how about
            repaint in<br>
            JComponent.hide() like this?<br>

                   Hi awt-dev,<br>
            <br>
                   java.awt.Component.hide() was declared as deprecation
