Class I15dPanelBuilder

public class I15dPanelBuilder extends AbstractI15dPanelBuilder

A general purpose panel builder that uses the FormLayout to lay out JPanels. In addition to its superclass PanelBuilder this class provides convenience behavior to map resource keys to their associated internationalized (i15d) strings when adding labels, titles and titled separators.

The localized texts used in methods #addI15dLabel and #addI15dTitle can contain an optional mnemonic marker. The mnemonic and mnemonic index are indicated by a single ampersand (&). For example "&Save", or "Save &as". To use the ampersand itself, duplicate it, for example "Look&&Feel".
