## org.swixml.converters
Class BorderConverter

    java.lang.Object
      org.swixml.converters.BorderConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Converter

    public class BorderConverter

extends Object
implements Converter

The `BorderConverter` class defines a converter that creates Border objects based on a provided String. The BorderConverter internally uses the `javax.swing.BorderFactory` and its static create.. methods to instatiate differnt kinds of borders, based on the given String.
Additional parameters to create a border need to be comma separated and enclosed in parentheses.
Parameter types get converted through the `ConverterLibrary`. Therefore, only parameter classes are supported that have registered converters in the ConverLibrary.

### Examples for Valid XML attribute notations:
