Package net.sf.japi.swing.prefs Description

This package contains useful Swing extension classes about handling user interfaces to user preferences.

The recommended way in using this package is:

1. Create instances of Prefs

   For this, you can do either or both:

   • subclass AbstractPrefs
   • implement Prefs
   The most important methods of Prefs are Prefs.isChanged(), Prefs.defaults(), Prefs.revert() and Prefs.apply(). You implement these methods to get notified about the user's wishes about his / her input.
2. Create a PreferencesGroup that contains these Prefs objects.
3. Invoke PreferencesPane.showPreferencesDialog(java.awt.Component,net.sf.japi.swing.prefs.PreferencesGroup,boolean) to let the user change the preferences.
