Removing the added border from JTextField and bringing it back to normal

Please have a look at the below code

Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.RED, 1);
introducerFeesTxt.setBorder(border);

I used this code to create a line border for the JTextField. However now I need to remove it and replace it's normal view. Below is what I tried.

introducerFeesTxt.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));

That code above again created a border which is not similar to other normal JTextFields. Below is a screenshot.

enter image description here

You can clearly see the differnece between the "Normal" JTextField and the JTextField with the added border. How can I reset it to be "normal" ?

You could keep the original border in a variable before change it and then use this border to set it back to its original state:

Border originalBorder;
...
JTextField textField = new JTextField(20);
originalBorder = textField.getBorder();
// here you can safely change text field's border

Of course the scope of this originalBorder variable should be wide enough to use it when needed (f.e.: class member).

Note: Please note this approach is independent of the PLAF used by your application.

You should use the original border from the L&F (Look and Feel).

Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.RED, 1);
introducerFeesTxt.setBorder(border);
// some operation

introducerFeesTxt.setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TextField.border"));
