JComponent doc should note that setEnabled(false) will not disable child comps

      Many developers (understandably) assume that disabling a JComponent will also
      disable its children, since a JComponent is a Container. This is the subject
      of Swing bug # 4177727, among others.

      Since calling JComponent.setEnabled(false) does not currently ensure that its
      children's setEnabled(false) methods will also be called, we should document
      this behavior explicitly.
