<DT>public class <B>TabSet</B><DT>extends java.lang.Object<DT>implements java.io.Serializable</DL>

<P>
A TabSet is comprised of many TabStops. It offers methods for locating the
 closest TabStop to a given position and finding all the potential TabStops.
 It is also immutable.
 <p>
 <strong>Warning:</strong>
 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.  A future release of Swing will provide support for
 long term persistence.
