<DT>public abstract interface <B>Border</B></DL>

<P>
Interface describing an object capable of rendering a border
 around the edges of a swing component.
 <p>
 In the Swing component set, borders supercede Insets as the
 mechanism for creating a (decorated or plain) area around the 
 edge of a component.
 <p>
 Usage Notes:
 <ul>
 <li>Use EmptyBorder to create a plain border (this mechanism
     replaces its predecessor, <code>setInsets</code>).
 <li>Use CompoundBorder to nest multiple border objects, creating
     a single, combined border.
 <li>Border instances are designed to be shared. Rather than creating
     a new border object using one of border classes, use the
     BorderFactory methods, which produces a shared instance of the
     common border types.
 <li>Additional border styles include BevelBorder, SoftBevelBorder,
     EtchedBorder, LineBorder, TitledBorder, and MatteBorder.
 <li>To create a new border class, subclass AbstractBorder.   
 </ul>
