A BorderManager Example Putting It All Together
The StandardBorderManager
If the code involved in writing a BorderManager seems somewhat verbose, that's because it is. Or, at least, can can be cumbersome to write over and over again for multiple applications. Fortunately, the basic algorithms involved are pretty straightforward. Consequently, the StandardBorderManager class is provided by the framework to handle the type of border management that will most likely be desired in the majority of applications. It is worth looking over the JavaDocs, as well as the source code, for the StandardBorderManager. Its functionality won't be detailed within this tutorial, as doing so would merely be a reiteration of the JavaDoc descriptions.
