Over-write the "show()" method of java.awt.Dialog class

Hi all,

I am writing a class which extends the java.awt.Dialog class.
The Dialog class has a "show()" method, which i am trying to over-write.
Now when i try to compile this, it gives me a warning saying it uses a
deprecated method - show().
This is not true. It is the show method of the java.awt.Component class that
is deprecated, but not of java.awt.Dialog. (Although Dialog is a descendent of
Component). Also note that this happens inspite of NOT doing a super.show() in
my class that extends Dialog.

Can someone explain this for me please.

My understanding is as follows -
java.awt.Component - has a deprecated show method.
java.awt.Container extends Component, and does not have a show method. So the
show method of its parent would come into picture which is deprecated. So, Had
I been extending a Container, then this error would have been valid.
java.awt.Dialog extends Container, and DOES have a show method, which is NOT
deprecated. So the show method of its parent (Component) should NOT come into
picture. Isnt that correct?.


Thanks and regards,
--Aliasgar M.--
