They used to be final but it was decided for political reasons that this was too restrictive.

Many widgets say in the javadoc that they are not intended to be
subclassed. Why aren't they final, then?
There's even a method that checks whether the widget are inside the
original package, but it it possible to circunvent it. 

Why not make all the classes thet are not intended to be subclassed
final then?

Just curiosity, not a coding/design criticism...
