Writing the createStatusBar method

Program

    JPanel createStatusBar() {
        JTextField textField1 = new JTextField("StatusBar");
        textField1.setEditable(false);
        textField1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());

        JPanel jPanelStatusBar = new JPanel();
        jPanelStatusBar.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jPanelStatusBar, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
        jPanelStatusBar.add(textField1);

        return jPanelStatusBar;
    }

Discussion

The StatusBar should be a part of the "Center" in the ContentPane. The StatusBar should not be placed "South" in the Content Pane, because the ToolBar could be moved to the "South" by the user.
