public class Container
Disabled: no SafeJ information.
A generic Abstract Window Toolkit(AWT) container object is a component that can contain other AWT components.
Components added to a container are tracked in a list. The order of the list will define the components' front-to-back stacking order within the container. If no index is specified when adding a component to a container, it will be added to the end of the list (and hence to the bottom of the stacking order).
Note: For details on the focus subsystem, see How to Use the Focus Subsystem, a section in The Java Tutorial, and the Focus Specification for more information.

 If the component is a child of some other container, it is
 removed from that container before being added to this container.
 The important difference between this method and
 java.awt.Container.add(Component, int) is that this method
 doesn't call removeNotify on the component while
 removing it from its previous container unless necessary and when
 allowed by the underlying native windowing system. This way, if the
 component has the keyboard focus, it maintains the focus when
 moved to the new position.
 
 This property is guaranteed to apply only to lightweight
 non-Container components.
 
This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.
 Note: Not all platforms support changing the z-order of
 heavyweight components from one container into another without
 the call to removeNotify. There is no way to detect
 whether a platform supports this, so developers shouldn't make
 any assumptions.

 method.
 
 The constraints are
 defined by the particular layout manager being used.  For
 example, the BorderLayout class defines five
 constraints: BorderLayout.NORTH,
 BorderLayout.SOUTH, BorderLayout.EAST,
 BorderLayout.WEST, and BorderLayout.CENTER.
 
 The GridBagLayout class requires a
 GridBagConstraints object.  Failure to pass
 the correct type of constraints object results in an
 IllegalArgumentException.
 
 If the current layout manager implements LayoutManager2, then
 LayoutManager2.addLayoutComponent(Component,Object) is invoked on
 it. If the current layout manager does not implement
 LayoutManager2, and constraints is a String, then
 LayoutManager.addLayoutComponent(String,Component) is invoked on it.
 
If the component is not an ancestor of this container and has a non-null parent, it is removed from its current parent before it is added to this container.
This is the method to override if a program needs to track every add request to a container as all other add methods defer to this one. An overriding method should usually include a call to the superclass's version of the method:
 super.addImpl(comp, constraints, index)

layout in class Componentpublic boolean isValidateRoot()
 Layout-related changes, such as bounds of the validate root descendants,
 do not affect the layout of the validate root parent. This peculiarity
 enables the invalidate() method to stop invalidating the
 component hierarchy when the method encounters a validate root.
 
 If a component hierarchy contains validate roots, the validate()
 method must be invoked on the validate root of a previously invalidated
 component, rather than on the top-level container (such as a Frame object) to restore the validity of the hierarchy later.
 
 The Window class and the Applet class are the validate
 roots in AWT.  Swing introduces more validate roots.
invalidate(), 
Component.invalidate(), 
JComponent.isValidateRoot(), 
JComponent.revalidate()public void invalidate()
 If the LayoutManager installed on this container is an instance
 of the LayoutManager2 interface, then
 the LayoutManager2.invalidateLayout(Container) method is invoked
 on it supplying this Container as the argument.
 
 Afterwards this method marks this container invalid, and invalidates its
 ancestors. See the Component.invalidate() method for more details.
invalidate in class Componentvalidate(), 
layout(), 
LayoutManager2public void validate()
 Validating a container means laying out its subcomponents.
 Layout-related changes, such as setting the bounds of a component, or
 adding a component to the container, invalidate the container
 automatically.  Note that the ancestors of the container may be
 invalidated also (see Component.invalidate() for details.)
 Therefore, to restore the validity of the hierarchy, the validate() method should be invoked on a validate root of an
 invalidated component, or on the top-most container if the hierarchy
 does not contain validate roots.
 
Validating the container may be a quite time-consuming operation. For performance reasons a developer may postpone the validation of the hierarchy till a set of layout-related operations completes, e.g. after adding all the children to the container.
 If this Container is not valid, this method invokes
 the validateTree method and marks this Container
 as valid. Otherwise, no action is performed.

The default values for a Container's focus traversal keys are implementation-dependent. Sun recommends that all implementations for a particular native platform use the same default values. The recommendations for Windows and Unix are listed below. These recommendations are used in the Sun AWT implementations.
| Identifier | Meaning | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
| KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Normal forward keyboard traversal | TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-TAB on KEY_PRESSED | |
| KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Normal reverse keyboard traversal | SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED | |
| KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Go up one focus traversal cycle | none | |
| KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Go down one focus traversal cycle | none | 
Using the AWTKeyStroke API, client code can specify on which of two specific KeyEvents, KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED, the focus traversal operation will occur. Regardless of which KeyEvent is specified, however, all KeyEvents related to the focus traversal key, including the associated KEY_TYPED event, will be consumed, and will not be dispatched to any Container. It is a runtime error to specify a KEY_TYPED event as mapping to a focus traversal operation, or to map the same event to multiple default focus traversal operations.
If a value of null is specified for the Set, this Container inherits the Set from its parent. If all ancestors of this Container have null specified for the Set, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is used.
