      Input methods and some other software components need to be able to create windows that do not take the focus - neither for the window itself nor for any of its components. For example, input methods need to be able to bring up a lookup choice window from which the user can select a conversion, even using a mouse, without taking away the focus from the client component that receives the converted text. The input method framework currently provides a workaround for the lack of this feature, but it's fragile and doesn't allow selection using the mouse. AWT needs to provide support for focus-free windows.
