JTextField with rounded corner preserving shadows

I need to have a rounded corner text field and I found the solution here the problem is that with this solution I lose all the standard JTextField shadows.

Does anyone know how to restore them?

You cannot simply replace original textfield border without losing the shadow. You will have to apply some specific border with your own shadow-like effect or even modify the UI so it paints the shadow around the field.

Here is a simple example of shadow-like UI for textfield:

public static class RoundedFieldUI extends BasicTextFieldUI
{
    private int round = 5;
    private int shadeWidth = 2;
    private int textSpacing = 3;

    public void installUI ( JComponent c )
    {
        super.installUI ( c );

        c.setOpaque ( false );

        int s = shadeWidth + 1 + textSpacing;
        c.setBorder ( BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder ( s, s, s, s ) );
    }

    protected void paintSafely ( Graphics g )
    {
        Graphics2D g2d = ( Graphics2D ) g;
        g2d.setRenderingHint ( RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON );

        Shape border = getBorderShape ();

        Stroke os = g2d.getStroke ();
        g2d.setStroke ( new BasicStroke ( shadeWidth * 2 ) );
        g2d.setPaint ( Color.LIGHT_GRAY );
        g2d.draw ( border );
        g2d.setStroke ( os );

        g2d.setPaint ( Color.WHITE );
        g2d.fill ( border );

        g2d.setPaint ( Color.BLACK );
        g2d.draw ( border );

        super.paintSafely ( g );
    }

    private Shape getBorderShape ()
    {
        JTextComponent component = getComponent ();
        if ( round > 0 )
        {
            return new RoundRectangle2D.Double ( shadeWidth, shadeWidth,
                    component.getWidth () - shadeWidth * 2 - 1,
                    component.getHeight () - shadeWidth * 2 - 1, round * 2, round * 2 );
        }
        else
        {
            return new Rectangle2D.Double ( shadeWidth, shadeWidth,
                    component.getWidth () - shadeWidth * 2 - 1,
                    component.getHeight () - shadeWidth * 2 - 1 );
        }
    }

    public static void main ( String[] args )
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame ();

        JPanel panel = new JPanel ( new BorderLayout ( 5, 5 ) );
        panel.setBorder ( BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder ( 50, 50, 50, 50 ) );
        frame.add ( panel );

        panel.add ( new JLabel ( "Field:" ), BorderLayout.NORTH );

        JTextField field = new JTextField ( 20 );
        field.setUI ( new RoundedFieldUI () );
        panel.add ( field );

        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation ( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.pack ();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo ( null );
        frame.setVisible ( true );
    }
}
