Java Core GUI APIs: ZOrder alternative

• Is there any alternative to the ZOrder methods in 1.5 for 1.4.2 without using a LayeredPane?

• 1. Well I have figured out that I have a JApplet wich contains a LayeredPane, the problem is the JApplet has a JPanel and THAT JPanel has JComponents wich need to be changed by layer. But that JPanel does not have a LayeredPane... that seems to be a huge problem and is there no way to do it without a LayeredPane?

  3. Place a component to a top layer when someone hovers over it, then back once he stops hovering.

  4. err... CardLayout?The question remains however - your post is very unclear... if you are asking "Does 5.0 now includehyper-intelligent/esp capable automatic shuffling methods in the API?" the answer is NO.

  5. No you didn't read it correctly. :)The question is how do I put a component on top and back again without a layered pane. I know ZOrder can do it in 5, but that is barely a standard.I dunno cardLayout, but i implemented a custom layout manager already.
