Swing component overlay AWT component

Hi all,

I know this has been asked a lot of times and it is a long running pain for developers. But I still need to seek your opinions:

My project needs me to implement JXPanel over AWT component in an AWT Frame.

How can it be done? Are there any Swing hack methods or programs to do this?

I have tried using Java 1.5 Container.setComponentZOrder() with Windows XP to set the Z-order. But it fails to set the z-order. My test code for using Container.setComponentZOrder() is as follows:

Frame headlessFrame = new Frame();

headlessFrame.setLayout(null);

headlessFrame.setUndecorated(true);

headlessFrame.setSize(1000,600);

JLayeredPane swingPane = new JLayeredPane();

swingPane.setSize(800,500);

Button awtButton = new Button("AWT Button");

awtButton.setSize(50,50);

Panel awtPanel = new Panel();

awtPanel.setSize(300,300);

awtPanel.add(awtButton);

JButton swingButton = new JButton("Swing Button");

swingButton.setSize(200,200);

JXPanel swingxPanel = new JXPanel();

swingxPanel.setSize(300,300);

swingxPanel.setAlpha(0.5f);

swingxPanel.add(swingButton);

headlessFrame.add(awtPanel);

headlessFrame.add(swingxPanel);

try{

headlessFrame.setComponentZOrder(awtPanel,1);

headlessFrame.setComponentZOrder(swingxPanel,0);

} catch(Exception e){

e.printStackTrace();

}

headlessFrame.setVisible(true);

Thks for the help. Rgds.
