/**
* <p>An annotation that can be applied to a {@link javax.swing.RepaintManager} to suggest that
* the <code>RepaintManager</code> supports translucency. If a <code>JXPanel</code>
* is made translucent by setting it's alpha property to a value between 0 and 1,
* then the <code>JXPanel</code> must ensure that a <code>RepaintManager</code>
* capable of handling transparency is installed. This annotation tells the
* <code>JXPanel</code> that the installed <code>RepaintManager</code> does not
* need to be replaced. This is critical for custom <code>RepaintManager</code>s
* which are used in applications along with transparent <code>JXPanel</code>s.</p>
*
* <p>A <code>RepaintManager</code> supports translucency if, when a repaint on a
* child component occurs, it begins painting <em>not</em> on the child component,
* but on the child component's <code>JXPanel</code> ancestor if: a) there is such
* an ancestor and b) the ancestor returns an effective alpha of < 1.</p>
