Original user synopsis: "Scrollbar placement on ScrollPane and JScrollPane"

Your ScrollPane and especially JScrollPane
classes are great. However, I have an interface
where the vertical scrollbar of the scrollpane
needs to be along the lefthand edge instead of
the right. I could kludge in an independent
vertical scrollbar and hook it up to the scrollpane,
setting the verticalScrollBarPolicy to NEVER,
but I'd rather not.

Another scrollpane property, called
verticalScrollBarPlacement,
or whatever, with the default value "RIGHT" and
allowing the value "LEFT" would be great.

If you decide to add this feature, you might as
well create a corresponding property for the
horizontalScrollBar.

These will of course affect placement of row and
column headers, which will always be on the opposite
side of the scrollpane from the respective
scrollbar. I can't think of any other complications
that would arise from this added feature.

Thanks!
