But what to do with compatibility issues? Do you provide any options
to run existing applications?
The existing applications will use the new functionality which behaves
like the old ones. The appearance of the message itself will differ
but after the fix it will look like the native message, even before
the fix the appearance was different on different platforms.
I'm not sure that it will behave as before since that was a swing
component which uses Swing L&F, so at least the appearance is changed by
the fix.
Yet another thing is localization. Before the fix the message was shown
in java locale which may differ from the native locale, now it is always
follows the native locale and there is no way to change it from java.
This may cause unexpected changes in the existing applications, so I
suppose it is reasonable to introduce a compatibility property that
allows switching to the previous behavior. At a minimum, this should be
mentioned in compatibility section of the release notes.
