public interface UIResource

This interface is used to mark objects created by ComponentUI delegates. The ComponentUI.installUI() and ComponentUI.uninstallUI() methods can use this interface to decide if a properties value has been overridden. For example, the JList cellRenderer property is initialized by BasicListUI.installUI(), only if it's initial value is null:

if (list.getCellRenderer() == null) {
     list.setCellRenderer((ListCellRenderer)(UIManager.get("List.cellRenderer")));
 }

if (list.getCellRenderer() instanceof UIResource) {
     list.setCellRenderer(null);
 }

if (!(list.getFont() instanceof UIResource)) {
     list.setFont(UIManager.getFont("List.font"));
 }
