All Implemented Interfaces:

Accessible, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, RootPaneContainer, Serializable

public class JWindow

extends Window

implements Accessible, RootPaneContainer

A JWindow is 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 a JFrame, but it is still a "first-class citizen" of the user's desktop, and can exist anywhere on it.

The JWindow component contains a JRootPane as its only child. The contentPane should be the parent of any children of the JWindow. From the older java.awt.Window object you would normally do something like this:

       window.add(child);
 

       window.getContentPane().add(child);
 

Please see the JRootPane documentation for a complete description of the contentPane, glassPane, and layeredPane components.

In a multi-screen environment, you can create a JWindow on a different screen device. See Window for more information.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JWindow key assignments.

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^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.
