Release 5 Notes
Improvements
Text components now support an option to control whether or not the content of the text component is automatically selected when the text component becomes the keyboard focus owner.
The native color panel displays the current color when the user clicks on a color well. The color panel can be configured to allow the user to specify translucent colors. In addition, the color panel allows access to the menu bar and menu item shortcuts of the associated Java window while the color panel owns the keyboard focus.
The display of a saved search in the file chooser is more compatible with the native file panels.
The rendering of JOptionPanes over vibrant backgrounds (such as in a sheet) has been improved.
The rendering of recessed buttons has been improved.
