The TextComponent class is the superclass of
any component that allows the editing of some text.
A text component embodies a string of text. The
TextComponent class defines a set of methods
that determine whether or not this text is editable. If the
component is editable, it defines another set of methods
that supports a text insertion caret.
In addition, the class defines methods that are used to maintain a current selection from the text. The text selection, a substring of the component's text, is the target of editing operations. It is also referred to as the selected text.
