Well you don't *have* to override these methods as Panel already implement them (and so does UIComponent).
It depends on what you are trying to do. If you need to create new objects within the extended panel, then you'll want to override createChildren(), if you want to update these children, then override updateDisplayList(), etc. In all cases, always make sure you call the method of the parent class using super.methodName() in order not to break the default behavior of the component.
