PORT.PEER

Do not use `java.awt.peer.*' interfaces directly

Description

This rule flags code that uses a `java.awt.peer.*' interface directly.

The interfaces in the `java.awt.peer' are documented as used by AWT implementors only. Applications that use these interfaces directly are not portable.

Example

 package PORT;
 import java.awt.peer.ComponentPeer;
 interface PEER extends ComponentPeer
 {
     void setName(String name);
 }

Repair

Do not use `java.awt.peer' package directly.
