/**
 * This class implements the 'master/details' UI pattern suitable for inclusion
 * in a form. The block consists of two parts: 'master' and 'details' in a sash
 * form that allows users to change the relative ratio on the page. The master
 * part needs to be created by the users of this class. The details part is
 * created by the block.
 * <p>
 * The master part is responsible for adding itself as a form part and firing
 * selection events. The details part catches the selection events and tries to
 * load a page registered to handle the selected object(s). The page shows the
 * details of the selected object(s) and allows users to edit them.
 * <p>
 * Details pages can be registered statically using 'registerPage' or
 * dynamically through the use of 'IDetailsPageProvider' in case where different
 * pages need to be shown for objects of the same type depending on their state.
 * <p>
 * Subclasses are required to implement abstract methods of this class. Master
 * part must be created and at least one details page should be registered in
 * order to show details of the objects selected in the master part. Tool bar
 * actions can be optionally added to the tool bar manager.
 *

 * @see IDetailsPage
