A collection of attributes, typically used to represent
character and paragraph styles. This is an implementation
of MutableAttributeSet that can be observed if desired.
These styles will take advantage of immutability while
the sets are small enough, and may be substantially more
efficient than something like SimpleAttributeSet.
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeansTM
has been added to the java.beans
package.
