Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-05-30 10:05:18 EDT 
In a lower resolution mode if a preference page has a table (like the installed
JREs) it is possible for the page to get too large to fit onto the screen rela
estate. The size of the table is dependant on the size of the previous pages
composite - if it was a large on the preferred size of the table will be large.

I suggest we have a maximum page size - say 800x800 (we already have a 400 x 400
minimum).

Note that on Linux dialogs are resizable so we may want to defer this.

STEPS
1) Open the Preference Dialog
2) select the Installed JRE page. Table columns are truncated (correctly).
3) Select Ant preference page
4) Hit OK
5) Open the Preference Dialog - Ant is default selected and quite large
6) Selected installed JREs - button is cut off.

The computeSize was being done without packing the widgets first. Added a call
to pack() in before the computeSize call in layout().

Fixed in build 20020530
