The beta JDK comes with a package called java.awt.peer, which contains
Interface classes that parallel the classes in java.awt.
Poking around in those classes, and in the source for AWT itself,
I'm seeing references that mention that the peers are used to
"modify the appearance of an object without changing its functionality."
I'm afraid I don't understand what that means. Could someone explain
that in a little more detail? Why are the peers needed? Isn't it
possible to change an object's appearance without changing its
functionality?
