The comment is below…

`JScrollBar` overrides both `getMinimumSize` and `getMaximumSize` and specifies 
*different behaviour*: “The scrollbar is flexible along it's scrolling axis and 
rigid along the other axis.”

Should it follow the rules set by `JComponent`? It don't think so.

How does the scrollbar look like if you set its minimum or maximum size to a 
larger size along its other axis?

Should we rather update the spec for `JScrollBar`? It may override 
`setMinimumSize` and `setMaximumSize` to specify different behaviour.
