ABSTRACT:
Drop guides are added to a Java layout manager to receive parts for a layout. When a drop guide is empty and able to receive a part, passing a cursor over the drop guide will cause it to be highlighted. Drop guides may be added in positions before, after, over and below any part for greater flexibility in laying out parts.
