/**
 * <code>JSplitPane</code> is used to divide two (and only two)
 * <code>Component</code>s. The two <code>Component</code>s
 * are graphically divided based on the look and feel
 * implementation, and the two <code>Component</code>s can then be
 * interactively resized by the user.
 * Information on using <code>JSplitPane</code> is in
 * <a
 href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/splitpane.html">How to Use Split Panes</a> in 
 * <em>The Java Tutorial</em>.
 * <p>
 * The two <code>Component</code>s in a split pane can be aligned
 * left to right using
 * <code>JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT</code>, or top to bottom using 
 * <code>JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT</code>.
 * The preferred way to change the size of the <code>Component</code>s
 * is to invoke
 * <code>setDividerLocation</code> where <code>location</code> is either
 * the new x or y position, depending on the orientation of the
 * <code>JSplitPane</code>.
 * <p>
 * To resize the <code>Component</code>s to their preferred sizes invoke
 * <code>resetToPreferredSizes</code>.
 * <p>
 * When the user is resizing the <code>Component</code>s the minimum
 * size of the <code>Components</code> is used to determine the
 * maximum/minimum position the <code>Component</code>s
 * can be set to. If the minimum size of the two
 * components is greater than the size of the split pane the divider
 * will not allow you to resize it. To alter the minimum size of a
 * <code>JComponent</code>, see {@link JComponent#setMinimumSize}.
 * <p>
 * When the user resizes the split pane the new space is distributed between
 * the two components based on the <code>resizeWeight</code> property.
 * A value of 0,
 * the default, indicates the right/bottom component gets all the space,
 * where as a value of 1 indicates the left/top component gets all the space.
 * <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}.
