Proposal: Deprecate Builders

[Werner Lehmann]

True - didn't think of that. In practice it might not be that big of a 
problem for those custom control builder classes. It is only an issue 
for classes without a no-args constructors and those are usually 
smallish immutable classes - unlike Pane. The simple workaround then is 
to duplicate the original (smallish) builder and add to it instead of 
extending it. Not perfect but workable.
