Class GUIPanel

javax.ide.view.GUIPanel

public final class GUIPanel

extends java.lang.Object

A GUIPanel opaquely encapsulates the gui panel that is to be hosted by an IDE's service such as: the IDE preferences panel, the editor's panel, etc.. There are two components in a GUI component hierarchy that need to be identified: the root component, and the focusable component. The root component will be added to the children list of the IDE host, and the focusable component will be given the focus when the IDE host becomes active. For Swing based IDE's the type of the root and focusable components should be: JComponent.
