We should have a mechanism for recognizing or defining which components can contain other components and which can't. For example, a combo box cannot be split up into a text field and a button, but a JPanel can contain other components. 

We already have a concept for composite components which we use in our implementation for tabbed panes, but we should generalize this and make it a part of the normal Jubula extension mechanism so that new components can be identified as being able to have children or not.

This would make it possible to add support for e.g. JPanels as components in their own right on the graphics component level.
