Interface EditableComponent

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultDrawingView

@NotNull
public interface EditableComponent

This interface must be implemented by components which are editable.

FIXME - Investigate if we can replace this interface by querying the TransferHandler of a component and retrieve its cut/copy/paste actions. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/intro.html#cut

Design Patterns

Framework
