  33  * Interface describing an object capable of rendering a border
  34  * around the edges of a swing component.
  35  * For examples of using borders see
  36  * <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/border.html">How to Use Borders</a>,
  37  * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
  38  * <p>
  39  * In the Swing component set, borders supercede Insets as the
  40  * mechanism for creating a (decorated or plain) area around the
  41  * edge of a component.
  42  * <p>
  43  * Usage Notes:
  44  * <ul>
  45  * <li>Use EmptyBorder to create a plain border (this mechanism
  46  *     replaces its predecessor, <code>setInsets</code>).
  47  * <li>Use CompoundBorder to nest multiple border objects, creating
  48  *     a single, combined border.
  49  * <li>Border instances are designed to be shared. Rather than creating
  50  *     a new border object using one of border classes, use the
  51  *     BorderFactory methods, which produces a shared instance of the
  52  *     common border types.
  53  * <li>Additional border styles include BevelBorder, SoftBevelBorder,
  54  *     EtchedBorder, LineBorder, TitledBorder, and MatteBorder.
  55  * <li>To create a new border class, subclass AbstractBorder.
