SwingUtilities.findFocusOwner(Component c) has been deprecated. However the replacement method KeyBoardFocusManager.getFocusOwner() is not completely equivalent. If you want to find out whether a component contains the currently focused component without using findFocusOwner you have to duplicate all its code.

For example, I want to find out whether component z contains focus:

boolean containsFocus = findFocus(z) != null;

A suitable alternative would be a method:

public boolean containsFocus(Component c);
