/**
 * A lightweight container
 * that uses a BoxLayout object as its layout manager.
 * Box provides several class methods
 * that are useful for containers using BoxLayout --
 * even non-Box containers.
 *
 * <p>
 * The <code>Box</code> class can create several kinds
 * of invisible components
 * that affect layout:
 * glue, struts, and rigid areas.
 * If all the components your <code>Box</code> contains
 * have a fixed size,
 * you might want to use a glue component
 * (returned by <code>createGlue</code>)
 * to control the components' positions.
 * If you need a fixed amount of space between two components,
 * try using a strut
 * (<code>createHorizontalStrut</code> or <code>createVerticalStrut</code>).
 * If you need an invisible component
 * that always takes up the same amount of space,
 * get it by invoking <code>createRigidArea</code>.
 * <p>
 * If you are implementing a <code>BoxLayout</code> you
 * can find further information and examples in
 * <a
 href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/box.html">How to Use BoxLayout</a>,
 * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * 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<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.

     * <p>
     *
     * To use glue,
     * call <code>Box.createGlue</code>
