/**
 * {@code LookAndFeel}, as the name implies, encapsulates a look and
 * feel. Beyond installing a look and feel most developers never need to
 * interact directly with {@code LookAndFeel}. In general only developers
 * creating a custom look and feel need to concern themselves with this class.
 * <p>
 * Swing is built upon the foundation that each {@code JComponent}
 * subclass has an implementation of a specific {@code ComponentUI}
 * subclass. The {@code ComponentUI} is often referred to as "the ui",
 * "component ui", or "look and feel delegate". The {@code ComponentUI}
 * subclass is responsible for providing the look and feel specific
 * functionality of the component. For example, {@code JTree} requires
 * an implementation of the {@code ComponentUI} subclass {@code
 * TreeUI}. The implementation of the specific {@code
 * ComponentUI} subclass is provided by the {@code LookAndFeel}. Each
 * {@code JComponent} subclass identifies the {@code ComponentUI}
 * subclass it requires by way of the {@code JComponent} method {@code
 * getUIClassID}.
 * <p>
 * Each {@code LookAndFeel} implementation must provide
 * an implementation of the appropriate {@code ComponentUI} subclass by
 * specifying a value for each of Swing's ui class ids in the {@code
 * UIDefaults} object returned from {@code getDefaults}. For example,
 * {@code BasicLookAndFeel} uses {@code BasicTreeUI} as the concrete
 * implementation for {@code TreeUI}. This is accomplished by {@code
 * BasicLookAndFeel} providing the key-value pair {@code
 * "TreeUI"-"javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTreeUI"}, in the
 * {@code UIDefaults} returned from {@code getDefaults}. Refer to
 * {@link UIDefaults#getUI(JComponent)} for details on how the implementation
 * of the {@code ComponentUI} subclass is obtained.
 * <p>
 * When a {@code LookAndFeel} is installed the {@code UIManager} does
 * not check that an entry exists for all ui class ids. As such,
 * random exceptions will occur if the current look and feel has not
 * provided a value for a particular ui class id and an instance of
 * the {@code JComponent} subclass is created.
 *
 * <h2>Recommendations for Look and Feels</h2>
 *
 * As noted in {@code UIManager} each {@code LookAndFeel} has the opportunity
 * to provide a set of defaults that are layered in with developer and
 * system defaults. Some of Swing's components require the look and feel
 * to provide a specific set of defaults. These are documented in the
 * classes that require the specific default.
 *
 * <h3><a name="defaultRecommendation">ComponentUIs and defaults</a></h3>
 *
 * All {@code ComponentUIs} typically need to set various properties
 * on the {@code JComponent} the {@code ComponentUI} is providing the
 * look and feel for. This is typically done when the {@code
 * ComponentUI} is installed on the {@code JComponent}. Setting a
 * property should only be done if the developer has not set the
 * property. For non-primitive values it is recommended that the
 * {@code ComponentUI} only change the property on the {@code
 * JComponent} if the current value is {@code null} or implements
 * {@code UIResource}. If the current value is {@code null} or
 * implements {@code UIResource} it indicates the property has not
 * been set by the developer, and the ui is free to change it.  For
 * example, {@code BasicButtonUI.installDefaults} only changes the
 * font on the {@code JButton} if the return value from {@code
 * button.getFont()} is {@code null} or implements {@code
 * UIResource}. On the other hand if {@code button.getFont()} returned
 * a {@code non-null} value that did not implement {@code UIResource}
 * then {@code BasicButtonUI.installDefaults} would not change the
 * {@code JButton}'s font.
 * <p>
 * For primitive values, such as {@code opaque}, the method {@code
 * installProperty} should be invoked.  {@code installProperty} only changes
 * the corresponding property if the value has not been changed by the
 * developer.
 * <p>
 * {@code ComponentUI} implementations should use the various install methods
 * provided by this class as they handle the necessary checking and install
 * the property using the recommended guidelines.
 *
 * <h3><a name="exceptions"></a>Exceptions</h3>
 *
 * All of the install methods provided by {@code LookAndFeel} need to
 * access the defaults if the value of the property being changed is
 * {@code null} or a {@code UIResource}. For example, installing the
 * font does the following:
 * <pre>
 *   JComponent c;
 *   Font font = c.getFont();
 *   if (font == null || (font instanceof UIResource)) {
 *       c.setFont(UIManager.getFont("fontKey"));
 *   }
 * </pre>
 * If the font is {@code null} or a {@code UIResource}, the
 * defaults table is queried with the key {@code fontKey}. All of
 * {@code UIDefault's} get methods throw a {@code
 * NullPointerException} if passed in {@code null}. As such, unless
 * otherwise noted each of the various install methods of {@code
 * LookAndFeel} throw a {@code NullPointerException} if the current
 * value is {@code null} or a {@code UIResource} and the supplied
 * defaults key is {@code null}. In addition, unless otherwise specified
 * all of the {@code install} methods throw a {@code NullPointerException} if
 * a {@code null} component is passed in.
