Undecorated JFrame versus JWindow

Thread view:

I've only just discovered undecorated JFrames. Thy solve some of the
problems I'd had with JWindows before, such as not being suitable
parents for JDialogs.

In fact, I don't have any reason to use JWindow at all any more. For
the kind of things I do.

Are there situations where it is better to use JWindow rather than
JFrame?

No answers. Does this mean that nobody knows of any reasons to use a
JWindow instead of an undecorated JFrame, or that everyone thinks that
it's a stupid question that I should be able to work out myself?

I do not speak for others, but for my own part,
there are only some minor reasons..
1) One less line of code.
2) JFrame has some 'baggage' that is not required
for a (J)Window. It inherits the methods of Frame,
and has things like setDefaultCloseOperation().
