javax.swing.plaf.metal Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package javax.swing.plaf.metal as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.

If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.

Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

This class describes the default Metal Theme.
