A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
InputVerifier's method verify() receives as its only parameter the reference to the Jcomponent whose contents is to be validated. A 2nd parameter would be welcome which could tell if the upcoming focus loss is of temporary or permanent nature. This is the very information the following FocusEvent provides - but a little late!

JUSTIFICATION :
Temporary focus losses can be granted much less rectrictive than permanent ones.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Class InputVerifier should have new method "boolean isTemporary()" (or so) - just like the FocusEvent class-.
ACTUAL -
Information is not provided.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
*none*
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
generate information that temporary focus loss is about to be scheduled by the source of this loss - provided this is under the influence of the application. E.g., with modal (j)dialogs, this can be accomplished.
