Hierarchical tabs for Swing.

The Java Swing UI doesn't have support for creating hierarchical tabs (tabs that are shown as a tree). We needed this for gngr. We couldn't find any existing libraries to achieve this, hence this project.

The current status of this library is a proof-of-concept. We are using a little hack to indent the tab components in a custom JTabbedPane. It works fine in our tests, but we need more testing. Please see the contributing section below.

The Metal LAF has a small, known issue. The tabs in this LAF have a little notch that overlaps with the next tab, making it difficult to indent without looking odd. As a workaround we are indenting only the tab content.

The API will be stabilized after testing.

We need more testing to complete this matrix:

Testing is easy; download the latest jar from the releases page. After running the jar file, you will see some randomly generated tabs, with the System LAF. Try switching to other LAFs using the radio buttons on the top. Append your report to this issue
