That's what I remember, too, but I can't find any sources for it online, 
so maybe I'm just imagining things. 🙂

Rather than subclasses breaking things, though, I remember reading that 
the decision to allow the Swing classes to be so extensible had made it 
difficult for Oracle to maintain and enhance Swing itself. The JavaFX 
developers decided early on not to repeat that mistake.

Do I remember correctly? Does anyone have links or even first-hand 
knowledge?
