Components are laid out in the user interface hierarchically. The layout is managed by layout components, or more generally by components that implement the {@link ComponentContainer} interface. Such a container is theparent of the contained components.
The {@link #getParent()} method allows retrieving the parent component of acomponent. While there is a {@link #setParent(Component) setParent()}, you rarely need it as you normally add components with the {@link ComponentContainer#addComponent(Component) addComponent()} method ofthe layout or other {@code ComponentContainer}, which automatically sets the parent.
A component becomes attached to an application (and the {@link #attach()} is called) when it or one of its parents is attached to themain window of the application through its containment hierarchy.
