        <p><code>TopComponent.requestAttention(boolean)</code> and <code>TopComponent.cancelRequestAttention</code>

        added to allow components to signal that they require user's attention or the attention is no longer required.

        It's up to the current TopComponent container to decide how to attract user's attention.

        If the user activates the attention-requiring component, the container assumes the goal was achieved and the action is cancelled.

        The methods are thread-safe.

        </p>

        <p>

        For those implementing WindowManager class, there is an incompatible change where 

        abstract methods <code>topComponentCancelRequestAttention(TopComponent)</code> and 

        <code>topComponentRequestAttention(TopComponent)</code> were added.
