| Provides a general framework for creating and managing |
| windows. |
| <h2> |
| Package Specification</h2> |
| A JFace window is an object that has no visual representation (no widgets) |
| until it is told to open. All JFace windows, including dialogs, are instances |
| of the abstract class <tt>Window</tt> or a subclass. This package contains |
| the base window classes: |
| <tt>Window</tt> itself, which provides support |
| for a basic windows; and <tt>ApplicationWindow</tt>, which provides ready-to-use |
| support for a high-level "main window" with standard menus, tool bar, and |
| status line. Both of these classes may be subclassed to define additional |
| types of window as required. |
| <p>This package also contains <tt>WindowManager</tt>, instance of which |
| are used for managing a group of windows. Window managers are useful in |
| applications which create many different windows (dialogs, wizards, etc.) |
| in addition to a main window. Window managers are not required for simple |
| applications. |
| <p>The only global state maintained by classes in this package is a default |
| image for window title bars (<tt>Window.setDefaultImage</tt>). |
