Migrating show/hide code to setVisible

[Andy Goryachev]

I am afraid that this change will instantly break >80% of all deployed applications.  Same for setSize()/resize().

Subject: Migrating show/hide code to setVisible
The show() and hide() methods of java.awt.Component have been deprecated for a long time now (JDK 1.1, 25 years ago), and a substantial bit of code is duplicated between them—rather unnecessarily. I think that their code should be merged into the preferred setVisible(boolean) method. The deprecated show(), hide(), and show(boolean) would call setVisible(boolean) with the corresponding value. They won't be deprecated for removal.

>From what I can tell, a migration can be done pretty easily. The headache I imagine can result is with mixing inheritances/overrides. Thoughts?
