build

public void build(Element el)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Build this component by getting all XML attributes of the XML element and calling AbstractBuildable.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) with the String value of the attribute

Specified by:

build in interface Buildable

Overrides:

build in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

el - the XML element containing the object data

getDocumentationBaseDir

public static File getDocumentationBaseDir()

addTo

public void addTo(Buildable b)

Description copied from interface: Buildable

Adds this component to its parent. In order to make Buildable objects extensible, the child is reponsible for adding itself to the parent. That way, Buildable subcomponents can be defined in an extension package without needing to modify the containing class.

removeFrom

public void removeFrom(Buildable b)

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Remove this component from its parent

getAttributeDescriptions

public String[] getAttributeDescriptions()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

Return an array of Strings describing the attributes of this object. These strings are used as prompts in the Properties window for this object. The order of descriptions should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Specified by:

getAttributeDescriptions in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeDescriptions in class AbstractConfigurable

getAttributeTypes

public Class<?>[] getAttributeTypes()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

Return the Class for the attributes of this object. Valid classes are: String, Integer, Double, Boolean, Image, Color, and KeyStroke The order of classes should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Specified by:

getAttributeTypes in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeTypes in class AbstractConfigurable

getConfigurer

public Configurer getConfigurer()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

The default Configurer of an AbstractConfigurable class is an instance of AutoConfigurer

Specified by:

getConfigurer in interface Configurable

Overrides:

getConfigurer in class AbstractConfigurable

getAllowableConfigureComponents

public Class<?>[] getAllowableConfigureComponents()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Return a list of valid sub-component Classes. If a Class appears in this list, then instances of that class may be added to this component from the Configuration Window.

getConfigureTypeName

public static String getConfigureTypeName()

getConfigureName

public String getConfigureName()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

The name of this Configurable Object

Specified by:

getConfigureName in interface Configurable

Overrides:

getConfigureName in class AbstractConfigurable

getHelpFile

public HelpFile getHelpFile()

Returns:

a HelpFilte describing how to use and configure this component

getAttributeNames

public String[] getAttributeNames()

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String name, Object value)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Sets an attribute value for this component. The key parameter will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames(). If the value parameter is a String, it will be the value returned by AbstractBuildable.getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String) for the same key. If the implementing class extends AbstractConfigurable, then value will be an instance of the corresponding Class listed in AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes()

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface Translatable

Specified by:

setAttribute in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

name - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

getAttributeValueString

public String getAttributeValueString(String name)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Return a String representation of the attribute with the given name. When initializing a module, this String value will be passed to AbstractBuildable.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in interface Translatable

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

name - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()
