/**
 * Swing's implementation of a ComboBox -- a combination of a text field and

 * a list that is displayed when the user asks for it. The editing capability
 * can also be disabled so that the JComboBox acts only as a drop down list.

 * not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases

 * baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.
