/**
 * 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.
 * 
 * 
 * 
New or Enhanced Functionality
 * 
 * Auto-completion for TextFields and ComboBoxes
 * 
 * For more information, see the
 * AutoComplete documentation.
 * 
 * Enhanced Rendering Support for Collection Components
 * 
 * Built-In Search Support for Collection Components and JXEditorPane
 * 
 * Login/Authentication Framework
 * 
 * Painter-Enabled Components
 * 
 * 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.
 * 
 * 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. 
 * 
 * 
New and Enhanced components
 * 
 * Buttons and Labels
 * 
 *  {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXButton}

 * components) with consistent and uniform SwingX rendering, highlighting,
 * searching and rollover support.
 * 
 *  {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTable Table} uses the enhanced
 * {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.JXTableHeader TableHeader}

 * functionality is disabled by default

 * 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.
 *
