1082: Mainline

When we use the terms frame, applet, panel, component, label, text field, and button, we refer to instances of the JFrame, JApplet, JPanel, JComponent, JLabel, JTextField, and JButton classes. The older, less capable classes, which have names such as Frame and Applet, and their arrangement in the hierarchy, were retained in Java for backward compatibility.
