Description
Could not write these layouts to XML with XMLEncoder. It is impossible to get values from private fields. It is necessary to create public getters, because XMLEncoder should work with SecurityManager from Java Web Start.
Comments
EVALUATION This is regression since bug 4741757 was fixed. Classes BoxLayout and OverlayLayout does not have public getters to access their private fields. So it is imposiible to instantiate it properly.
