[Swing] Question related to implicit

Hi all,

I want to specify the size of a component like this:

preferredSize = (300, 300)

but the compiler warns about it being deprecated, and recommends me to use the implicit in Swing object. Now, how do I use it?, because just importing Swing._ doesn't work, I mean, the compiler still assumes I am calling the tuple version instead of the Dimension version using implicits. So how do I use the implicit?, like this maybe?:

preferredSize = (300, 300): Dimension

but that would be almost like

preferredSize = new Dimension(300, 300)

which totally kills the purpose. All help is welcomed :)

Cheers.

This was discussed. I think a bug was (supposed to be?) filed for it.
