Re: Getter for passed Border in SwingBorder class

Hi Bernd,

Rather I would not add the "getter" method directly to the Widget class.
Instead I would like to add a new static method:
javax.swing.border.Border
BorderSupport.getSwingBorder(org.netbeans.api.visual.border.Border)

This method would return the Swing-border if the input parameter is a
wrapper-border created by: BorderFactory.createSwingBorder or
Widget.setBorder(javax.swing.border.Border) method.

Let me know if the proposed API is ok for you. If so, I will enter an
API change issue on "graph" module. Unfortunately I have to postpone all
changes to June 2007 - right now I do not have enough time to go through
the whole API-review process. If you would like to have the API change
as soon as possible then I can immediately send you the patch of sources
of the "graph/lib" module. The change is really simple (upto 10 lines
including javadoc).

Regards,
  David
