<AWT Dev> RFR[8250855]: 'Address reliance on default constructors in the Java 2D APIs'

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Conor.

The latest agreement in the client team for such bugs is to use protected constructors for the abstract classes.
Something like this:
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psadhukhan/8250850/webrev.1/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalTheme.java.sdiff.html

PS you need to file a CSR for this change.
