Hi 

I found the following code in java 1.2.2 source code from JComponent


2553:   /**
         * Resizes this object so that it has width width and height.
         *
         * @param d - The dimension specifying the new size of the
object.
         */
        public void setSize(Dimension d) {
            JComponent.this.setSize(d);
2560:  }

As far as I understand this it calls itself again. This would be an
endlos loop, which I guess can't be. So what is done here?

Can anybody explain this to me?
