/**
*
* RelativeLayout, a Relative Layout Manager for Java SE.
* Mainly for porting tired old code that uses x,y locations.
* You really can't just assign x,y locations to components
* in Java SE - it breaks badly when the user resizes (and you can
* not mandate that the user can't resize you -- see any book
* on UI design for that little discussion -- and can also look
* bad due to resolution independance. Symantec Cafe 1.x, for example,
* used to spit out unfortunate (and unmaintainable) code like this:
*
* setLayout(null);
* setSize(331,241);
* label1=new Label("Info Applet", Label.CENTER);
* add(label1);
* label1.setBounds(91,19,107,15);
*
*
* Bleaarrgghh!!!
* To make it work properly at all resolutions and survive
* user-initiated resize actions, change it to
*
* setLayout(new RelativeLayout(331,241,false);
* label1=new Label("Info Applet", Label.CENTER);
* add("91,19", label1);
*
* Note that it's actually less work to get it right.
* Symantec, Microsoft, and others, please take note!
