<AWT Dev> [PATCH] ComponentAccessor

[Roman Kennke]

Today I found the aweful (sorry) ComponentAccessor. I quickly rewrote it
using what I call the 'friends for Java' pattern (described here:

http://kennke.org/blog/2009/01/08/friends-for-java/

).

This has a couple of advantages:

- no reflection (I don't like reflection)
- compile-time safety
- better IDE support (i.e. I was trying to trace
ComponentPeer.getGraphicsConfiguration() back today, and only got to
Window.resetGC(), because this one is only called via reflection in
ComponentAccessor).
- I'd guess that performance is slighly better, but that probably
doesn't matter much in these cases.

Do you think that should go into OpenJDK?
