Provides interfaces and classes in the the MillStone UI component library. Package SpecificationInterface hierarchy The general interface hierarchy looks like this:  Note that the above picture includes only the main interfaces. This package includes several other lesser subinterfaces which are not significant in this scope. The interfaces not appearing here are documented with the classes that define them. The {@link org.millstone.base.ui.Component} interface is the top-level interface which must be implemented by all UI components. It defines the common properties of the components and how the framework will handle them. Most simple components (like {@link org.millstone.base.ui.Button} for example} won't need to implement the lower level interfaces described below. Note that the classes and interfaces required by the component event framework are defined in {@link org.millstone.base.ui.Component}. The next level in the component hierarchy are the classes implementing the {@link org.millstone.base.ui.ComponentContainer} interface. It adds the capacity to contain other components to {@link org.millstone.base.ui.Component} with a simple API. The third and last level is the {@link org.millstone.base.ui.Layout}, which adds the concept of location to the components contained in a {@link org.millstone.base.ui.ComponentContainer}. It can be used to create containers whose contents can be positioned arbitrarily. Component class hierarchy The actual component classes form a hierarchy like this:  At the top level is {@link org.millstone.base.ui.AbstractComponent}
which implements the {@link org.millstone.base.ui.Component} interface. As
the name suggests it is abstract, but it does include a default
implementation for all methods defined in As seen in the picture, | ||
