EVALUATION All of the Swing classes that implement RootPaneContainer (JFrame, JWindow, JDialog, JInternalFrame and JApplet) will not forward remove/add/setLayout to the contentPane if rootPaneCheckingEnabled is true. This means you can now do: jFrame.add(component); instead of jFrame.getContentPane().add(component); and it will just work. ###@###.### 2003-08-14
