     * Sets a 'mixing-cutout' shape for the given component.
     *
     * By default a lightweight component is treated as an opaque rectangle for
     * the purposes of the Heavyweight/Lightweight Components Mixing feature.
     * This method enables developers to set an arbitrary shape to be cut out
     * from heavyweight components positioned underneath the lightweight
     * component in the z-order.
     * <p>
     * The {@code shape} argument may have the following values:
     * <ul>
     * <li>{@code null} - reverts the default cutout shape (the rectangle equal
     * to the component's {@code getBounds()})
     * <li><i>empty-shape</i> - does not cut out anything from heavyweight
     * components. This makes the given lightweight component effectively
     * transparent. Note that descendants of the lightweight component still
     * affect the shapes of heavyweight components.  An example of an
     * <i>empty-shape</i> is {@code new Rectangle()}.
     * <li><i>non-empty-shape</i> - the given shape will be cut out from
     * heavyweight components.
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * The most common example when the 'mixing-cutout' shape is needed is a
     * glass pane component. The {@link JRootPane#setGlassPane()} method
     * automatically sets the <i>empty-shape</i> as the 'mixing-cutout' shape
     * for the given glass pane component.  If a developer needs some other
     * 'mixing-cutout' shape for the glass pane (which is rare), this must be
     * changed manually after installing the glass pane to the root pane.
     * <p>
     * Note that the 'mixing-cutout' shape neither affects painting, nor the
     * mouse events handling for the given component. It is used exclusively
     * for the purposes of the Heavyweight/Lightweight Components Mixing
     * feature.
     *
     * @param component the component that needs non-default
     * 'mixing-cutout' shape
     * @param shape the new 'mixing-cutout' shape
     * @throws NullPointerException if the component argument is {@code null}
     * @deprecated This API may be removed or replaced.
