/**
* Contains extensions to the Swing GUI toolkit, including new and enhanced
* components that provide functionality commonly required by rich,
* data-centric client applications. Many of these features will eventually
* be incorporated into the Swing toolkit, although API compatibility will
* not be guaranteed.
* <p>
*
* <h2>New or Enhanced Functionality</h2>
*
* <h3>Auto-completion for TextFields and ComboBoxes</h3>
*
* For more information, see the
* <a href="autocomplete/package.html">AutoComplete</a> documentation.
*
* <h3>Enhanced Rendering Support for Collection Components</h3>
*
* <h3>Built-In Search Support for Collection Components and JXEditorPane</h3>
*
* <h3>Login/Authentication Framework</h3>
*
* <h3>Painter-Enabled Components</h3>
*
* Components that use painters for background rendering alter the functionality
* of how {@link java.awt.Component#setBackground(java.awt.Color)} works.
* Setting the background color of a painter-enabled component effectively sets
* the background painter to paint the requested color.
* <p>
* Look and Feel implementors should note that setting a
* {@link java.swing.plaf.UIResource} to {@code setBackground} will cause a
* {@code Painter} {@code UIResource} to be installed. This means that
* implementors should set the background before setting the painter as the last
* one set wins.
*
* <h2>New and Enhanced components</h2>
*
* <h3>Buttons and Labels</h3>
* <ul>
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXButton}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXHyperlink Hyperlink}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXLabel}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXBusyLabel}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXRadioGroup}
* </ul>
*
*
* <h3>Collection Components</h3>
*
* These are sortable/filterable (with the exception of hierarchical
* components) with consistent and uniform SwingX rendering, highlighting,
* searching and rollover support.
* <ul>
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTable Table} uses the enhanced
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTableHeader TableHeader}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXList List} - rollover and sort/filter
* functionality is disabled by default
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTree Tree}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTreeTable TreeTable} - a new
* hierarchical component with support of tabular node properties
* </ul>
*
* <h3>Top-level Windows, General and Special Purpose Containers</h3>
* <ul>
* <li>Enhanced {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXFrame Frame} using an extended
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXRootPane RootPane RootPane} to support a
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXStatusBar StatusBar}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXDialog Dialog}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXPanel Panel}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXErrorPane ErrorPane}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXLoginPane LoginPane}
*
* <li>Search components: {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXFindBar FindBar} used
* for incremental search (similar to FireFox),
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXFindPanel FindPanel} used in a find dialog,
* and {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXSearchPanel SearchPanel} used for what
* was it?
* <li>Nested SplitPane {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXMultiSplitPane
* MultiSplitPane}
* <li>Vertical collapsing/expansion functionality is provided by a
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXCollapsiblePane CollapsiblePane}. A special
* purpose collapsible is the {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTaskPane
* TaskPane} which typically is used to group buttons/hyperlinks which
* perform related tasks. A special
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTaskPaneContainer TaskPaneContainer} is
* responsible for the layout of several TaskPanes.
* <li>Easily configurable {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTipOfTheDay
* TipOfTheDay}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTitledPanel TitledPanel}
*
* </ul>
*
* <h3>Miscellaneous Components</h3>
*
* <ul>
* <li>New calendar components: the {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXDatePicker
* DatePicker} allows to select a single Date and a
* {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXMonthView MonthView} showing the overview of
* one or more months.
*
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXHeader Header}
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTitledSeparator TitledSeparator}
*
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXColorSelectionButton}

* <li>Image containers {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXImageView ImageView}
* and {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXImagePanel ImagePanel} (PENDING JW:
* merge/remove one?)
* <li> {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXMultiThumbSlider MultiThumbSlider}
*
* </ul>
