Java Swing: A list of all UIDefaults properties

Question

Question: Where can I get a list of all UIDefaults properties that exist in Swing?

I know of the possibility to write a small snippet of code that just extracts and

Answer 1

Ah, well, I should have thought about that one more intensively.

Of course the list of "valid" properties is directly dependent on the used l&f and what you want to do with it:

1. Write an own l&f In this case, the "official list" is the list of properties you get from the l&f you inherit. In case of MetalLookAndFeel, it's the 636 entries you can retrieve, I haven't tried the numbers for the more common BasicLookAndFeel and SynthLookAndFeel - I guess they can be checked by putting a more or less empty Subclass of those and running the code presented above.

2. Modify an existing l&f In this case running the code for the l&f used yields everything that can be modified.

So in the end, the solution is that there cannot be a thing like an "official overall list" as such a one can only be put based on some specific l&f, in which case the code above will yield what one wants to know.
