Yes, every access to the Swing components:

I think that was changed 15 years ago or so somewhere before the release of the JDK5 the spec was updated:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-5042754?focusedCommentId=12216623&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-12216623

And the text about "realized component" was removed from the tutorial somewhere in 2004, so we even do not use this term.
