static boolean	ask(JFrame frame, @Opt String windowtitle, int messageType, Object[] text, String cancelbutton, String okbutton)
static int	loadPngsToButtons(JPanel container, File directory, String fileStem, int numStart, String numberFormat) Load one or more ".png" files to JButtons and append them to the end of the container.
static <C extends Container> C	nearestContainer(@Opt Component c, Class<C> cl)
static void	setMaximumToPreferred(Component c)
static <D extends Message> void	show(JFrame frame, @Opt String windowtitle, int messageType, MessageStore<D> text, String buttonText)
static void	show(JFrame frame, @Opt String windowtitle, int messageType, Object[] text, String buttonText) ATTENTION: when calling "showXXDialog()", the conversion to "Object[]" must be done explicitly, because only then "vertical stacking" is applied to the results of "toString()" separately!
