/** "Abstract" base class for non-modal wizards.  Each subclass should
 *  define its own makeNextPanel methods. Because most
 *  wizards will not be run to completion, the panels are constructed
 *  only as needed. This implies that Wizards should not initialize
 *  many instance variables in their constructors.

* * By convention step 0 is the problem description of the ToDoItem, * step 1 is the first panel displayed after the user presses * "Next>", and so on. The problem description panel is not stored in * this wizard, only the panels that are specific to the wizard are * stored. If the user presses "Back>" enough times to get back to the * problem description, backPanel should return null. A null panel * indicates that the problem description should be shown.

* * Several of the comments in this class refer to "context". Context * is the data about this execution of this wizard, for example, values * that the user enters in step 1 is part of the context of later steps, * and the ToDoItem with its offenders Set is always context.
