Class RUBorders

java.lang.Object
com.ribs.RUBorders
public class RUBorders extends Object
A class to help manage and archive borders.

Would be nice if border archival supported multiple elements and nested elements to easily express compound borders (would also need nice border inspector).

Would also be nice to archive more border specific attributes, like EmptyBorder insets and LineBorder color and thickness (again, only useful with new border inspector UI).

Might also be nice to do "Border was explicitly overridden by Ribs" trick with borders, like we do with foreground/background (with reset button). This might make it viable to offer border editing to all components.
