/**
 * An extended version of <code>java.applet.Applet</code> that adds support for 
 * the JFC/Swing component architecture.
 * You can find task-oriented documentation about using <code>JApplet</code>
 * in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>,
 * in the section 
 * <a
 href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/applet.html">How to Make Applets</a>.
 * <p>
 * The <code>JApplet</code> class is slightly incompatible with
 * <code>java.applet.Applet</code>.  <code>JApplet</code> contains a
 * <code>JRootPane</code> as its only child.  The <code>contentPane</code>
 * should be the parent of any children of the <code>JApplet</code>.
 * As a convenience <code>add</code> and its variants, <code>remove</code> and
 * <code>setLayout</code> have been overridden to forward to the
 * <code>contentPane</code> as necessary. This means you can write:
 * <pre>
 *       applet.add(child);
 * </pre>
 *
 * And the child will be added to the <code>contentPane</code>.
 * The <code>contentPane</code> will always be non-<code>null</code>.
 * Attempting to set it to <code>null</code> will cause the
 * <code>JApplet</code> to throw an exception. The default
 * <code>contentPane</code> will have a <code>BorderLayout</code>
 * manager set on it. 
 * Refer to {@link javax.swing.RootPaneContainer}
 * for details on adding, removing and setting the <code>LayoutManager</code>
 * of a <code>JApplet</code>.
 * <p>
 * Please see the <code>JRootPane</code> documentation for a
 * complete description of the <code>contentPane</code>, <code>glassPane</code>,
 * and <code>layeredPane</code> properties.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong> Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.
 * <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}.
