thishow & this.hide

This is what I get: uses or overrides a deprecated API.

I searched and I know why. The question is what methods do I use instead? JDialog is what I am using.

Also what does this mean?

Check.java:8: warning: [serial] serializable class Check has no definition of serialVersionUID

public class Check extends JDialog {


Thanks

Which JRE version are you using?

What about setVisible()?

Where did you actually did your search?

From another forum:

Apperantly you are using a serializable class, which requires you to implement a static final long serialVersionUID, which I have no clue to what on earth it does (I have never done anything serial).

java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

I searched on this site and it said those methods are no longer going to be supported. which is fine. Does that mean they create new ones?

Did you read the link I provided?

Yes thankyou!

Nice.

When a method gets deprecated, it's generally for some obscure reasons only Illuminati understand. Other times, it's well documented.

Anyway, in the API documentation, there's an "use instead" statement that gives some light to the darkness.
