The comments in the pre-beta Component.java say "Components
should not be subclassed or instantiated directly."
Why am I not allowed to subclass Component? If I try to, I get
an error because Components constructor is not public or
protected.
If I want to add a new UI control, what should I subclass it
from? Something somewhat generic like Canvas maybe? What if I'm
adding support for a new native UI control, I don't want a
duplicate native Canvas peer control created.
