I can call PDBorderStyleDictionary.setWidth with 0, 1, or 2, for now, but it looks to me like setWidth() sets the COSObject to a float, e.g., 0.0, 1.0, etc., which Acrobat XI and Reader DC ignore. It should be set to an integer.
See http://aapro.net/PDF/BorderWeightTestAcrobat.pdf vs aapro.net/PDF/BorderWeightTest.pdf. The BorderWeightTestAcrobat.pdf was created by opening BorderWeightTest.pdf in Acrobat, setting the borders, and saving. It's a little awkward, since setWidth should really take an int argument, not a float to begin with. The PDF spec, to my reading, is looking for an integer number of points. So truly fixing it would break any applications trying to pass in a float. OTOH, I don't see how any such applications could be working, even though they'd compile. I suppose non-Adobe PDF renderers might work with float data.

I first thought you were using Netbeans (which requires to press CTRL SPACE twice to see the statics sometimes) but then I saw the missing public. I'll create an issue later tonight or tomorrow (unless you do) to put it back in. I don't see a reason why this was removed.
