/**
* Demonstrates a typical use of the FormLayout.
* Columns and rows are specified before the panel is filled with
* components, and the panel is filled with a PanelBuilder.<p>
*
* Unlike the PlainExample, this implementation can delegate
* the component creation for text labels and titled separators
* to the builder.<p>
*
* This panel building style is recommended for panels with
* a medium number of rows and components. If the panel has more rows,
* you may consider using a row variable to address the current row.
