 Java AWT: Lightweight UI Framework
The Lightweight UI Framework is very simple -- it boils down to the ability to now directly extend the java.awt.Component and java.awt.Container classes in order to create components which do not have native opaque windows associated with them.
Therefore, if a lightweight component is placed inside of a Container instance where the paint method has been overridden but which does not call super.paint(), the paint() method of the lightweight component will never be called.
Because lightweight components are entirely rendered in Java, the use of double-buffering in their containers can really smooth out their rendering to avoid flashing.
