EVALUATION

All of the Swing classes that implement RootPaneContainer (JFrame, JWindow,
JDialog, JInternalFrame and JApplet) will not forward remove/add/setLayout to the contentPane if rootPaneCheckingEnabled is true.
This means you can now do:
jFrame.add(component);
instead of
jFrame.getContentPane().add(component);
and it will just work.
