about the experiences on this forum

(+1 for both answerers) but, I think that not possible to answering your question correctly, part of methods Graphics(2D) required call for repaint() programatically, rest of them implementing this method (in API) directly (sure some of them missing this method in API)

for part of Swing JComponents is maybe better to dis-agree, this forum is full of questions about Concurency in Swing, starting with Graphics(2D) thought JTextComponents, JTree, and ends (same way is declared as thread safe) with setText(),
