Generate an property change event that describes a change that did not happen (your current proposal)</div><div><br></div><div>2. Define a new property corresponding to the component orientation and generate that event</div><div><br></div><div>3. Find a way to allow JSplitPane to update the layout manager (e.g. by adding a public method to SplitPaneUI)</div><div><br></div><div>4. Stop caching the components in BasicSplitPaneUI, so that revalidate is sufficient [I don’t know if this is feasible]</div><div><br></div><div>By the way, I chose your solution for a workaround, but I think a bug fix can and should do better.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
