Method Detail

disableBuggyFocusManager

public static void disableBuggyFocusManager()

Disables buggy Swing focus manager on certain versions.

Effects:

On JDK 1.2/1.3, calls FocusManager.disableSwingFocusManager() to prevent a bug that sends focus to the toolbar after using menu commands. On later versions of Java, does nothing.

setScrollTabLayoutPolicy

public static void setScrollTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane tabpane)

Calls JTabbedPane.setTabLayoutPolicy(int) if it's available.

Parameters:

tabpane - tabbed pane to call method on

Effects:

If tabpane provides the setTabLayoutPolicy method (Java 1.4+), then tabpane.setTabLayoutPolicy (SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT) is called; see its docs for effects. Otherwise, no effect.
