  Deprecated.
  Replaced by the internationalization support provided by the JGoodies Smart Client `Resources` class. Although deprecated, this class will remain in the Forms library for the next versions.

      @Deprecated
      public class I15dPanelBuilder
      extends PanelBuilder

  A general purpose builder class 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 `#addI15d*` can be marked texts, i.e. strings with an optional mnemonic marker. See the `MnemonicUtils` class comment for details.

  For debugging purposes you can automatically set a tooltip for the created labels that show its resource key. In case of an inproper resource localization, the label will show the wrong text, and the tooltip will help you identify the resource key with the broken localization. This feature can be enabled by calling `setDebugToolTipsEnabled`. If you want to enable it in a deployed application, you can set the system parameter `I15dPanelBuilder.debugToolTipsEnabled` to "true".

  Subclasses must implement the conversion from resource key to the localized string in `#getI15dString(String)`. For example class I15dPanelBuilder gets a ResourceBundle during construction, and requests strings from that bundle.

          public final JLabel addI15dLabel(String resourceKey,

      Deprecated.
      Adds an internationalized (i15d) textual label to the form using the specified constraints.
      Parameters:
        `resourceKey` - the resource key for the label's text
        `constraints` - the label's cell constraints
      Returns:
        the added label

    - #### addI15dLabel

          public final JLabel addI15dLabel(String resourceKey,
                            String encodedConstraints)

      Deprecated.
      Adds an internationalized (i15d) textual label to the form using the specified constraints.
      Parameters:
        `resourceKey` - the resource key for the label's text
        `encodedConstraints` - a string representation for the constraints
      Returns:
        the added label

    - #### addI15dLabel

          public final JLabel addI15dLabel(String resourceKey,
                            CellConstraints labelConstraints,
                            Component component,
                            CellConstraints componentConstraints)

      Deprecated.
      Adds an internationalized (i15d) label and component to the panel using the given cell constraints. Sets the label as the component label using `JLabel.setLabelFor(java.awt.Component)`.

      Note: The `CellConstraints` objects for the label and the component must be different. Cell constraints are implicitly cloned by the `FormLayout` when added to the container. However, in this case you may be tempted to reuse a `CellConstraints` object in the same way as with many other builder methods that require a single `CellConstraints` parameter. The pitfall is that the methods `CellConstraints.xy**(...)` just set the coordinates but do not create a new instance. And so the second invocation of `xy***(...)` overrides the settings performed in the first invocation before the object is cloned by the `FormLayout`.

      Wrong:

           builder.addI15dLabel("name.key",
                       CC.xy(1, 7),         // will be modified by the code below
                       nameField,
                       CC.xy(3, 7)          // sets the single instance to (3, 7)
                      );

      Correct:

           builder.addI15dLabel("name.key",
                       CC.xy(1, 7).clone(), // cloned before the next modification
                       nameField,
                       CC.xy(3, 7)          // sets this instance to (3, 7)
                      );

      Parameters:
        `resourceKey` - the resource key for the label
        `labelConstraints` - the label's cell constraints
        `component` - the component to add
        `componentConstraints` - the component's cell constraints

        the added label
      Throws:
