A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The following methods of JSlider would benefit from having generic types on their return types and parameters:

getLabelTable()
setLabelTable(Dictionary)
createStandardLabels(int)
createStandardLabels(int, int)


JUSTIFICATION :
The javadoc for setLabelTable states that the argument must map Integers to JComponents. Considering this requirement, it makes sense to enforce it with generics.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Signatures that check type:

public Dictionary<Integer, JComponent> getLabelTable()
public void setLabelTable(Dictionary<Integer, JComponent> labels)
public Hashtable<Integer, JComponent> createStandardLabels(int increment)
public Hashtable<Integer, JComponent> createStandardLabels(int increment, int start)

ACTUAL -
No type checking:

public Dictionary getLabelTable()
public void setLabelTable(Dictionary labels)
public Hashtable createStandardLabels(int increment)
public Hashtable createStandardLabels(int increment, int start)
