JComponent has a method, getUIClassID(),  to return the UIDefaults key 
for the ComponentUI subclass.  A JTextField returns a key of 
TextFieldUI.  A typical subclass is javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalTextFieldUI.

All the interesting details in the UIDefaults however use keys such as 
TextField.foreground, TextField.border, TextField.margin etc.  Is there 
any way to get the prefix, TextField, from the component other than 
stripping the UI off the end of the UIClassID?

Thanks,
