/**
* Abstract base class for all field editors.
*
* A field editor presents the value of a preference to the end
* user. The value is loaded from a preference store; if
* modified by the end user, the value is validated and eventually
* stored back to the preference store. A field editor reports
* an event when the value, or the validity of the value, changes.
*
*
* Field editors should be used in conjunction with a field
* editor preference page (FieldEditorPreferencePage)
* which coordinates everything and provides the message line
* which display messages emanating from the editor.
*
*
* This package contains ready-to-use field editors for various
* types of preferences:
*
* BooleanFieldEditor - booleansIntegerFieldEditor - integersStringFieldEditor - text stringsRadioGroupFieldEditor - enumerationsColorFieldEditor - RGB colorsFontFieldEditor - fontsDirectoryFieldEditor - directoriesFileFieldEditor - filesPathEditor - paths
