/**
 * A manager for a group of windows. Window managers are an optional JFace 
 * feature used in applications which create many different windows (dialogs,
 * wizards, etc.) in addition to a main window. A window manager can be used to
 * remember all the windows that an application has created (independent of 
 * whether they are presently open or closed). There can be several window
 * managers, and they can be arranged into a tree. This kind of organization 
 * makes it simple to close whole subgroupings of windows.
 * <p>
 * Creating a window manager is as simple as creating an instance of 
 * <code>WindowManager</code>. Associating a window with a window manager is 
 * done with <code>WindowManager.add(Window)</code>. A window is automatically
 * removed from its window manager as a side effect of closing the window.
 * </p>
