public class JFrame
extends Frame
implements WindowConstants, Accessible, RootPaneContainer

An extended version of java.awt.Frame that adds support for interposing input and painting behavior in front of the frame's children (see glassPane), support for special children that are managed by a LayeredPane (see rootPane) and for Swing MenuBars.

The JFrame class is slightly incompatible with java.awt.Frame. JFrame contains a JRootPane as it's only child. The contentPane should be the parent of any children of the JFrame. This is different than java.awt.Frame, e.g. to add a child to an AWT Frame you'd write:

       frame.add(child);
 
However using JFrame you need to add the child to the JFrames contentPane instead:
       frame.getContentPane().add(child);
 
The same is true for setting LayoutManagers, removing components, listing children, etc. All these methods should normally be sent to the contentPane() instead of the JFrame itself. The contentPane() will always be non-null. Attempting to set it to null will cause the JFrame to throw an exception. The default contentPane() will have a BorderLayout manager set on it.

Please see the JRootPane documentation for a complete description of the contentPane, glassPane, and layeredPane properties.

Unlike its parent class, java.awt.Frame, you can tell a JFrame how to respond when the user attempts to close the window. The default behavior is to simply hide the JFrame when the user closes the window. To change the default behavior, you invoke the method setDefaultCloseOperation. To make the JFrame remain open unless you handle the window-closing event and explicitly invoke dispose() (or exit the app, which is also pretty effective), use setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE). That makes the JFrame behave the same as java.awt.Frame. A third option lets you completely dispose of the window when it closes, instead of merely hiding it.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JFrame key assignments.

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. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.
