Thanks to you and Quoll for pointing that out, I wasn't aware of that 
method.  However, sub-classing is the last thing I'd want to do for the 
Swing API.  The docs do say "large scale extensions," so as long as the 
OP only wants to store a few properties, it should be fine.

OTOH, I've never needed to use this facility, so I really do wonder what 
Peter means to do.  There's probably better ways of accomplishing his goal.
