Hi, Anton. Notes about implementation: 1 Seems some code was changed for debug simplifications or changes from previous implementations. It would be good to revert them back. (Ex /LWComponentPeer.bounds). 2 Probably it would be good to move grab/ungrab implementation from LWToolkit/WToolkit to SunToolkit? It looks unclear why we need so many grab/ungrab/grabFocus/ungrabFocus methods with the same implementation in the different places. 3 I suggest make all methods in LightweightFrame final if possible. 4 JLightweightFrame.rootPane could be final 5 JLightweightFrame.getGraphics() probably graphics should be initialized by correct window fonts/background/foreground? Also when you create backbuffer probably it should be filled by background color? Note that if transparent images are supported you should be aware about composite. 6 JLightweightFrame.initInterior you shouldn't dispose graphics. 7 JLightweightFrame.reshape width * height could be changed to width | height ? 8 JLightweightFrame.reshape you did not flush old backbuffer.

Hi All,

Please, review the changes for the CR: http://bugs.sun.com/viewbug.do?bugid=8006406 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ant/8006406/webrev.6 It introduces sun.swing.JLightweightFrame class, aimed at lightweight embedding of Swing components into java-based toolkits. The primary target is JavaFX toolkit, however the class is not limited to this usage and the API it provides is quite generic. Below I'm giving a link to the jfx side implementation. This implementation should not be reviewed in this thread (it is in a pre-review phase), it should just clarify how the introduced API is supposed to be used. Namely, SwingNode.SwingNodeContent which implements sun.swing.LightweightContent and forwards requests from sun.swing.JLightweightFrame to NGExternalNode which does the rendering. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ant/RT-27887/webrev.1 Some comments on the awt/swing part: - Only Win and Mac implementation is currently available, X11 will come lately. - Win implementation uses a heavyweight window behind the lightweight frame, while it is not actually needed for lightweight embedding. This is due to the architecture of the Win AWT peers which are strongly tight to the native code, and it's not a trivial task to separate them. On Mac the lightweight frame peer is truly lightweight, meaning that it doesn't create an NSWindow object behind it. The Mac port LW abstraction allows to override and substitute CPlatform* classes with their lightweight stubs. - LightweightFrame, among others, introduces two new methods - grabFocus() and ungrabFocus(boolean). Ideally, these methods should go to the super Window class where the grab API becomes public (which is a long-term project...). Current host of the grab API is SunToolkit, which now forwards the calls to LightweightFrame. This is necessary to intercommunicate with the client when grab/ungrab happens on both sides. - Unresolved issues exist, like modal dialogs, d&d etc. They are to be addressed further. Thanks, Anton.
