Class EtchedBorder

    java.lang.Object
      javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder
          javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Border

Direct Known Subclasses:
  BorderUIResource.EtchedBorderUIResource

    public class EtchedBorder

extends AbstractBorder

A class which implements a simple etched border which can either be etched-in or etched-out. If no highlight/shadow colors are initialized when the border is created, then these colors will be dynamically derived from the background color of the component argument passed into the paintBorder() method.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

Field Summary
`protected int` | `etchType`
`protected Color` | `highlight`
`static int` | `LOWERED` Lowered etched type.
`static int` | `RAISED` Raised etched type.
