A class that implements an empty border with no size.
This provides a convenient base class from which other border
classes can be easily derived.

Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeans™
has been added to the java.beans package.

A class which implements a simple two-line bevel border.

Interface describing an object capable of rendering a border
around the edges of a swing component.
For examples of using borders see
How to Use Borders,
a section in The Java Tutorial.

In the Swing component set, borders supercede Insets as the
mechanism for creating a (decorated or plain) area around the
edge of a component.

Usage Notes:

Use EmptyBorder to create a plain border (this mechanism
    replaces its predecessor, setInsets).
Use CompoundBorder to nest multiple border objects, creating
    a single, combined border.
Border instances are designed to be shared. Rather than creating
    a new border object using one of border classes, use the
    BorderFactory methods, which produces a shared instance of the
    common border types.
Additional border styles include BevelBorder, SoftBevelBorder,
    EtchedBorder, LineBorder, TitledBorder, and MatteBorder.
To create a new border class, subclass AbstractBorder.

A composite Border class used to compose two Border objects
into a single border by nesting an inside Border object within
the insets of an outside Border object.

For example, this class may be used to add blank margin space
to a component with an existing decorative border:



   Border border = comp.getBorder();
   Border margin = new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10);
   comp.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(border, margin));

A class which implements a simple etched border which can
either be etched-in or etched-out.  If no highlight/shadow
colors are initialized when the border is created, then
these colors will be dynamically derived from the background
color of the component argument passed into the paintBorder()
method.

A class which implements an arbitrary border
with the addition of a String title in a
specified position and justification.

If the border, font, or color property values are not
specified in the constructor or by invoking the appropriate
set methods, the property values will be defined by the current
look and feel, using the following property names in the
Defaults Table:

"TitledBorder.border"
"TitledBorder.font"
"TitledBorder.titleColor"
