/**
* This interface is implemented by components that have a single
* JRootPane child: JDialog, JFrame, JWindow, JApplet, JInternalFrame.
* The methods in this interface are just <i>covers</i> for the JRootPane
* properties, e.g. <code>getContentPane()</code> is generally implemented
* like this:<pre>
* public Container getContentPane() {
* return getRootPane().getContentPane();
* }
* </pre>
* This interface serves as a <i>marker</i> for Swing GUI builders
* that need to treat components like JFrame, that contain a
* single JRootPane, specially. For example in a GUI builder,
* dropping a component on a RootPaneContainer would be interpreted
* as <code>frame.getContentPane().add(child)</code>.
* <p>
* For conveniance
* <code>JFrame</code>, <code>JDialog</code>, <code>JWindow</code>,
* <code>JApplet</code> and <code>JInternalFrame</code>, by default,
* forward, by default, all calls to the <code>add</code>,
* <code>remove</code> and <code>setLayout</code> methods, to the
* <code>contentPane</code>. This means you can call:
* <pre>
* rootPaneContainer.add(component);
* </pre>
* instead of:
* <pre>
* rootPaneContainer.getContentPane().add(component);
* </pre>
* <p>
* The behavior of the <code>add</code> and
* <code>setLayout</code> methods for
* <code>JFrame</code>, <code>JDialog</code>, <code>JWindow</code>,
* <code>JApplet</code> and <code>JInternalFrame</code> is controlled by
* the <code>rootPaneCheckingEnabled</code> property. If this property is
* true (the default), then calls to these methods are
* forwarded to the <code>contentPane</code>; if false, these
* methods operate directly on the <code>RootPaneContainer</code>. This
* property is only intended for subclasses, and is therefore protected.
