Can someone tell me why "message" is an Object here in javax.swing.JOptionPane?

Why isn't it a String?

showMessageDialog
public static void showMessageDialog(Component parentComponent,
                                     Object message)
                              throws HeadlessException
Brings up an information-message dialog titled "Message".
