java.awt.Frame that adds support for
* the JFC/Swing component architecture.
* You can find task-oriented documentation about using JFrame
* in The Java Tutorial, in the section
* How to Make Frames.
*
*
* The JFrame class is slightly incompatible with Frame.
* Like all other JFC/Swing top-level containers,
* a JFrame contains a JRootPane as its only child.
* The content pane provided by the root pane should,
* as a rule, contain
* all the non-menu components displayed by the JFrame.
* This is different from the AWT Frame case.
* As a conveniance add and its variants, remove and
* setLayout have been overridden to forward to the
* contentPane as necessary. This means you can write:
*
* frame.add(child); ** And the child will be added to the contentPane. * The content pane will * always be non-null. Attempting to set it to null will cause the JFrame * to throw an exception. The default content pane will have a BorderLayout * manager set on it. * Refer to {@link javax.swing.RootPaneContainer} * for details on adding, removing and setting the
LayoutManager
* of a JFrame.
*
* Unlike a Frame, a JFrame has some notion of how to
* respond when the user attempts to close the window. The default behavior
* is to simply hide the JFrame when the user closes the window. To change the
* default behavior, you invoke the method
* {@link #setDefaultCloseOperation}.
* To make the JFrame behave the same as a Frame
* instance, use
* setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE).
*
* For more information on content panes * and other features that root panes provide, * see Using Top-Level Containers in The Java Tutorial. *
* In a multi-screen environment, you can create a JFrame
* on a different screen device. See {@link java.awt.Frame} for 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 JavaBeansTM
* has been added to the java.beans package.
* Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
