Package-level Javadoc
Provides a general framework for creating and managing
windows.
Package Specification
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 Window or a subclass. This package contains
the base window classes:
Window itself, which provides support
for a basic windows; and ApplicationWindow, 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.
This package also contains WindowManager, 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.
The only global state maintained by classes in this package is a default
image for window title bars (Window.setDefaultImage).
