Summary

Revert to using raw types in some parts of javax.swing.text to avoid exposing package-private types.

Problem

The generification of swing exposed some package-private types as the bounds of type variables on non-private methods. Such types should not be exposed.

Solution

After due consideration of the alternatives, revert to using raw types for the parameters and return types in question.
