title: Why isn't SpringUtilities part of the core Java library?
body: <p>I know <code>SpringLayout</code> is intended to be used by GUI builders, but this layout is useful when a developer wants to create a form-like layout. And the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/layout/SpringGridProject/src/layout/SpringUtilities.java" rel="noreferrer"><code>SpringUtilities</code></a> utility class makes manual coding with the layout manager <em>much</em> easier.</p>
  
  <p>So, why isn't this part of the core Java library yet? Just curious...</p>
