/**
 * The main class for creating a dialog window. You can use this class
 * to create a custom dialog, or invoke the many class methods
 * in {@link JOptionPane} to create a variety of standard dialogs.
 * For information about creating dialogs, see
 * <em>The Java Tutorial section
 * <a
 href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html">How
 * to Make Dialogs</a>.
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * The {@code JDialog} component contains a {@code JRootPane}
 * as its only child.
 * The {@code contentPane} should be the parent of any children of the
 * {@code JDialog}.
 * As a convenience, the {@code add}, {@code remove}, and {@code setLayout}
 * methods of this class are overridden, so that they delegate calls
 * to the corresponding methods of the {@code ContentPane}.
 * For example, you can add a child component to a dialog as follows:
 * <pre>
 *       dialog.add(child);
 * </pre>
 * And the child will be added to the contentPane.
 * The {@code contentPane} is always non-{@code null}.
 * Attempting to set it to {@code null} generates an exception.
 * The default {@code contentPane} has a {@code BorderLayout}
 * manager set on it.
 * Refer to {@link javax.swing.RootPaneContainer}
 * for details on adding, removing and setting the {@code LayoutManager}
 * of a {@code JDialog}.
 * <p>
 * Please see the {@code JRootPane} documentation for a complete
 * description of the {@code contentPane}, {@code glassPane},
 * and {@code layeredPane} components.
 * <p>
 * In a multi-screen environment, you can create a {@code JDialog}
 * on a different screen device than its owner.  See {@link java.awt.Frame} for
 * more information.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans™
 * has been added to the {@code java.beans} package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
