It's done this way in `BasicTableUI` and `BasicListUI`: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/0d8543d6773a516dad54038070dce507179d0709/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicTableUI.java#L1656-L1658 and https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/0d8543d6773a516dad54038070dce507179d0709/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicListUI.java#L986-L988 ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17458#discussion_r1462246022
