049:         * An general purpose panel builder that uses the {@link FormLayout} 
050:         * to lay out <code>JPanel</code>s. It provides convenience methods 
051:         * to set a default border and to add labels, titles and titled separators.<p>
052:         * 
053:         * The PanelBuilder is the working horse for layouts when more specialized 
054:         * builders like the {@link ButtonBarBuilder} or {@link DefaultFormBuilder} 
055:         * are inappropriate.<p>
056:         * 
057:         * The Forms tutorial includes several examples that present and compare
058:         * different style to build with the PanelBuilder: static row numbers
059:         * vs. row variable, explicit CellConstraints vs. builder cursor,
060:         * static rows vs. dynamically added rows. Also, you may check out the
061:         * Tips &amp; Tricks section of the Forms HTML documentation.<p>
062:         * 
063:         * The text arguments passed to the methods <code>#addLabel</code>, 
064:         * <code>#addTitle</code>, and <code>#addSeparator</code> can contain 
065:         * an optional mnemonic marker. The mnemonic and mnemonic index 
066:         * are indicated by a single ampersand (<tt>&amp;</tt>). For example 
067:         * <tt>&quot;&amp;Save&quot</tt>, or <tt>&quot;Save&nbsp;&amp;as&quot</tt>. 
068:         * To use the ampersand itself duplicate it, for example 
069:         * <tt>&quot;Look&amp;&amp;Feel&quot</tt>.<p>
070:         * 
071:         * <strong>Example:</strong><br>
072:         * This example creates a panel with 3 columns and 3 rows.
073:         * <pre>
074:         * FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(
075:         *      "right:pref, 6dlu, 50dlu, 4dlu, default",  // columns 
076:         *      "pref, 3dlu, pref, 3dlu, pref");           // rows
077:         *
078:         * PanelBuilder builder = new PanelBuilder(layout);
079:         * CellConstraints cc = new CellConstraints();
080:         * builder.addLabel("&Title",      cc.xy  (1, 1));
081:         * builder.add(new JTextField(),   cc.xywh(3, 1, 3, 1));
082:         * builder.addLabel("&Price",      cc.xy  (1, 3));
083:         * builder.add(new JTextField(),   cc.xy  (3, 3));
084:         * builder.addLabel("&Author",     cc.xy  (1, 5));
085:         * builder.add(new JTextField(),   cc.xy  (3, 5));
086:         * builder.add(new JButton("..."), cc.xy  (5, 5));
087:         * return builder.getPanel();
