Interface UIComponentFactorySPI

All Known Implementing Classes:

AdvancedModelExplorerFactory, DotTextAreaFactory, EnactorEventMonitorFactory, IterationStrategyEditorFactory, ScavengerTreePanelFactory, ScuflDiagramPanelFactory, ScuflSVGDiagramFactory, TemplateEditorFactory, WorkflowEditorFactory, WorkflowInputPanelFactory, WorkflowInstanceContainerFactory, XScuflTextAreaFactory, XScuflTreeFactory

public interface UIComponentFactorySPI

Implementations can construct UI components to be inserted into containers within the workbench. These components may or may not bind to any given model object, the previous approach of forcing all UI components to be model listeners wasn't really very bright.

This class is intended to allow minimal information for building menus and the like without having to construct potentially heavy swing objects every time.
