  Direct Known Subclasses:
    MetalComboBoxUI.MetalComboPopup

      public class BasicComboPopup
      extends JPopupMenu
      implements ComboPopup

  This is a basic implementation of the `ComboPopup` interface. This class represents the ui for the popup portion of the combo box.

  All event handling is handled by listener classes created with the `createxxxListener()` methods and internal classes. You can change the behavior of this class by overriding the `createxxxListener()` methods and supplying your own event listeners or subclassing from the ones supplied in this class.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.
