e839. Enable Scrolling Tabs in a JTabbedPane Container

By default, all the tabs in a tabbed pane are displayed. When the tabs are wider than the width of the tabbed pane, they are displayed in rows. If space is an issue, it is possible to configure the tabs to appear in a single row along with a scroller that allows the tabs to be scrolled into view.
    // Create a tabbed pane
    JTabbedPane pane = new JTabbedPane();
    
    // Add some tabs...; see e830 Adding a Tab to a JTabbedPane Container
    // Get the number of rows of tabs
    int rows = pane.getTabRunCount();
    
    // Get the current layout policy
    int policy = pane.getTabLayoutPolicy(); // WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT
    
    // Configure the tabs to scroll
    pane.setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT);
