/**
* Demonstrates a <i>pure</i> use of the FormLayout.
* Columns and rows are specified before the panel is filled with
* components. And the panel is filled without a builder.<p>
*
* This panel building style is simple but not recommended. Other panel
* building styles use a builder to fill the panel and/or create
* form rows dynamically. See the {@link PanelBuilderExample} for
* a slightly better panel building style that can use the builder
* to create text labels and separators.
