Interface Inspectable2

All Superinterfaces:

Inspectable

All Known Implementing Classes:

JProjectInspectable

public interface Inspectable2

extends Inspectable

Inspectable2 is a replacement API for Inspectable and offers a custom dialog hook in lieu of a Customizer. The hook offers the integrator far more control while at the same time simplifying the mechanics of the InspectorWindow in that it is up to any custom dialog to fire any related UpdateMessage notifications, rather than being left as the responsibility of the InspectorWindow to try and figure it all out based on individual PropertyChangeEvent notifications fired by the Customizer. Additionally, Inspectable2 allows for the providing of often used actions for optional display in the InspectorWindow implementation.
