Hello All,
Please review the below 2 webrevs. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rchamyal/8147521/webrev.app.00/ http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rchamyal/8147521/webrev.app.01/ Bug : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8147521 Approach 1: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rchamyal/8147521/webrev.app.00/ A new protected API is provided in PopupFactory.java. protected Popup getPopup(Component owner, Component contents, int x, int y, boolean isHeavyWeightPopup) Applications can override the new protected method and pass true value to isHeavyWeightPopup for forcing popup to be heavy weight. Passing false will result in default behaviour. Approach 2: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rchamyal/8147521/webrev.app.01/ In this approach access level of existing methods setPopupType and getPopupType has been changed to protected. Applications can override these methods to set or return different types of popups. Following values can be passed to setPopupType. 0 : LIGHT_WEIGHT_POPUP 1 : MEDIUM_WEIGHT_POPUP 2: HEAVY_WEIGHT_POPUP Regards, Rajeev Chamyal
