public interface Painter

Painter can be used to draw on components backgrounds. The use of this interface allows reuse of a background Painter for various components.

Painters can also be used to draw the glasspane which is layered on top of the form. The example shows a glasspane running on top of a field to show a validation hint, notice that for real world usage you should probably look into Validator. Also notice that this example uses the shorter Java 8 lambda syntax to represent the glasspane.
