FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Envrionment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot (TM) Clinet VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Version 2002 SP 1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Setting the background color on JProgressBar does not work in XP L&F in JRE 1.4.2. This used to work in 1.4.1. Even in 1.4.2, with other L&F like metal L&F, it works properly and shows the background color set on the component. With XP L&F, it always shows white background.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the test case.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The progress bar should show with red color as background. When the task proceeds, the progress is indicated by the green foreground color.
ACTUAL -
The progress bar shows up with white background color, which is then filled with green foreground color.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
