Jon and Romain should have a GlassPane face off...

Using a GlassPane to get feedback about a JFrame
Over the years, I've used GlassPanes quite frequently to provide "unobtrusive" feedback about application events during development and testing. Typically, the pattern that I use is that I have a JPanel that will listen for some kind of event to occur. Once the event occurs, a message is created and displayed as a glasspane (using transparency) over the main frame and kept there for a few seconds.
