<P>
A class which implements an empty border with no size.  
 This provides a convenient base class from which other border 
 classes can be easily derived.
 <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.  A future release of Swing will provide support for
 long term persistence.
