Creating a transparent panel
I need to create a panel which should be invisible but the components inside it (for example, JTextArea, JButton, etc.) should be visible. When I click on the invisible panel, it should become visible.
I can only use JRE 1.4 and nothing more than that. :(
Any idea how to create such a transparent panel???

Answer 1
Transparancy is controlled with
setOpaque(false)
Answer 2
JComponent.setOpaque(false) is the way to go.

java - transparent batching remote calls in dwr
I want DWR to transparently batch all remote calls that are done in the course of handling the same event.
The reason is that handling an event in Javascript must only take a short time and nothing else can happen during the same time. So if I am going to do many calls, I would like to DWR batch them transparenty. Is that possible? How?

I have a little JWindow with a logo on it that users can drag stuff to.
I develop my application mainly on OS X. To get a transparent window i use
