public class SimpleInternalFrame
extends javax.swing.JPanel

A JPanel subclass that has a drop shadow border and that provides a header with icon, title and tool bar.

This class can be used to replace the JInternalFrame, for use outside of a JDesktopPane. The SimpleInternalFrame is less flexible but often more usable; it avoids overlapping windows and scales well up to IDE size. Several customers have reported that they and their clients feel much better with both the appearance and the UI feel.

The SimpleInternalFrame provides the following bound properties: frameIcon, title, toolBar, content, selected.

By default the SimpleInternalFrame is in selected state. If you don't do anything, multiple simple internal frames will be displayed as selected.
