```
public class UIDefaults
extends Hashtable<Object,Object>
```
A table of defaults for Swing components. Applications can set/get default values via the UIManager.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
`static interface`	`UIDefaults.ActiveValue` This class enables one to store an entry in the defaults table that's constructed each time it's looked up with one of the `getXXX(key)` methods.
`static class`	`UIDefaults.LazyInputMap` `LazyInputMap` will create a `InputMap` in its `createValue` method.
`static interface`	`UIDefaults.LazyValue` This class enables one to store an entry in the defaults table that isn't constructed until the first time it's looked up with one of the `getXXX(key)` methods.
`static class`	`UIDefaults.ProxyLazyValue` This class provides an implementation of `LazyValue` which can be used to delay loading of the Class for the instance to be created.

    Creates an empty defaults table.
  - UIDefaults
```
public UIDefaults(int initialCapacity,
                  float loadFactor)
```
    Creates an empty defaults table with the specified initial capacity and load factor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the defaults table
    
    loadFactor - the load factor of the defaults table

    Hashtable
  - UIDefaults
```
public UIDefaults(Object[] keyValueList)
```
    Creates a defaults table initialized with the specified key/value pairs. For example:
```
        Object[] uiDefaults = {
             "Font", new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, 12),
            "Color", Color.red,
             "five", new Integer(5)
        }
        UIDefaults myDefaults = new UIDefaults(uiDefaults);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    keyValueList - an array of objects containing the key/value pairs
- Method Detail
  - get
```
public Object get(Object key)
```
    Returns the value for key. If the value is a UIDefaults.LazyValue then the real value is computed with LazyValue.createValue(), the table entry is replaced, and the real value is returned. If the value is an UIDefaults.ActiveValue the table entry is not replaced - the value is computed with ActiveValue.createValue() for each get() call. If the key is not found in the table then it is searched for in the list of resource bundles maintained by this object. The resource bundles are searched most recently added first using the locale returned by getDefaultLocale. LazyValues and ActiveValues are not supported in the resource bundles.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface Map<Object,Object>

    get in class Hashtable<Object,Object>
    
    Parameters:

```
    The value of get(uidClassID) must be the String name of a class that implements the corresponding ComponentUI class. If the class hasn't been loaded before, this method looks up the class with uiClassLoader.loadClass() if a non null class loader is provided, classForName() otherwise.
    If a mapping for uiClassID exists or if the specified class can't be found, return null.
    
    This method is used by getUI, it's usually not necessary to call it directly.
    
    Parameters:
    
    uiClassID - a string containing the class ID
    
    uiClassLoader - the object which will load the class
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of Class.forName(get(uidClassID))

    Returns:
    
    the Class object returned by getUIClass(uiClassID, null)
  - getUIError
```
protected void getUIError(String msg)
```
    If getUI() fails for any reason, it calls this method before returning null. Subclasses may choose to do more or less here.
    
    Parameters:
    
    msg - message string to print
    
    See Also:
    
    getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)
  - getUI
```
public ComponentUI getUI(JComponent target)
```
    Creates an ComponentUI implementation for the specified component. In other words create the look and feel specific delegate object for target. This is done in two steps:
    - Look up the name of the ComponentUI implementation class under the value returned by target.getUIClassID().
    - Use the implementation classes static createUI() method to construct a look and feel delegate.
    Parameters:
    
    target - the JComponent which needs a UI
    
    Returns:
    
    the ComponentUI object

```
public void addResourceBundle(String bundleName)

    Parameters:
    
    bundleName - the base name of the resource bundle to be added

  - setDefaultLocale
```
public void setDefaultLocale(Locale l)
```
    Sets the default locale. The default locale is used in retrieving localized values via get methods that do not take a locale argument. As of release 1.4, Swing UI objects should retrieve localized values using the locale of their component rather than the default locale. The default locale exists to provide compatibility with pre 1.4 behaviour.
    
    Parameters:
    
    l - the new default locale
    
    Since:
    
    1.4
    
    See Also:

```
public Locale getDefaultLocale()
```
    Returns the default locale. The default locale is used in retrieving localized values via get methods that do not take a locale argument. As of release 1.4, Swing UI objects should retrieve localized values using the locale of their component rather than the default locale. The default locale exists to provide compatibility with pre 1.4 behaviour.
    
    Returns:
