CardLayout Question

[Sean Carrick]

Hey, All!

I just have a quick question regarding the java.awt.CardLayout method
addLayoutComponent(String name, Component component): Why is this method of
adding a component deprecated? There is no setter for setting the name
property, so I don't understand why this was deprecated by, at least, JDK11.

I appreciate any information you can provide regarding this, as I use the
CardLayout for creating wizards and like to keep my JPanels that contain
each wizard step as separate classes so that the wizard classes do not grow
exceptionally long. (Exponentially long based upon the number of steps in
the wizard ��) Since that version of the addLayoutComponent was deprecated,
how then is one supposed to set the name of the card for showing them
appropriately as the user moves through the wizard steps? Inquiring minds
would like to know! ��

Sincerely,
