Yes indeed! In my blog post, I wrote: anonymous wrote : One interesting thing to notice is that this button is using the Linux look-and-feel, because, in this case, the server was running Linux. If this server had been running on some other operating system, the button would, by default, take that other operating system's look-and-feel. This is something to be aware of when using Swing components. All Swing components have system-dependent look-and-feel. By the way, before you get everyone set on it, you might want to call the tag something other than "swing". I set it up to use java.awt.Component as an argument, not a JComponent. All Swing components are sub-classes of java.awt.Component, so you get them all for free. But Component is simpler, with no complications from look-and-feel considerations, and more inclusive, than JComponent. Here's a very simple Component I wrote to display a JFreeChart, for example, without Swing involved: public final class ChartComponent extends Component { | | public ChartComponent(JFreeChart chart) { this.chart = chart; } | private final JFreeChart chart; | | @Override public void paint(Graphics g) { | chart.draw((Graphics2D)g, new Rectangle(getWidth(), getHeight())); | } | | } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4114898#...
