I once wrote a custom layout manager for Swing, but it used the Java
absolute layout manager in the workings of it.
So I find it perplexing that AbsoluteLayout is deprecated in v1.5.
Until I read that in the docs, I was going to do an Android version of
it.

I hope it gets undeprecated in v2.

Cheers.
