Interface Editor

All Known Subinterfaces:

CompoundEditor, ItemEditor

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractItemEditor, DefaultCompoundEditor

public interface Editor

Specifies the general contract of an option editor. Editors serve as views/controllers for the parameters managed by an OptionHandler.

Editors that want to support PropertyChange and/or VetoableChange events should implement the PropertyChangeReporter and/or the VetoableChangeReporter interfaces.

Note:
OptionHandler and OptionItem store editors using weak references. Editor implementations have to ensure that they do not become eligible for garbage collection while their view components are in use.
