/**
 * The {@code AccessibleEditableText} interface should be implemented by all
 * classes that present editable textual information on the display. Along with
 * the {@code AccessibleText} interface, this interface provides the standard
 * mechanism for an assistive technology to access that text via its content,
 * attributes, and spatial location. Applications can determine if an object
 * supports the {@code AccessibleEditableText} interface by first obtaining its
 * {@code AccessibleContext} (see {@link Accessible}) and then calling the
 * {@link AccessibleContext#getAccessibleEditableText} method of
 * {@code AccessibleContext}. If the return value is not {@code null}, the
 * object supports this interface.
