/**
 * There are two kinds of classes implementing the mocking interface:
 * 
 * Business classes
 * FormFields
 * 
 * 
 * The classes declare with this interface that they are able to fill itself
 * with random but valid data. It's kind of a 'Lorem Ipsum' for things other 
 * than strings.
 * 
 * This can be very helpfull in JUnit tests. But also while manually testing
 * the GUIs. If DevMode is active there is a 'Demo' button in every dialog.
 * Instead of filling a complex form by hand a single click fills a fields
 * with mocked data.
 * 
 * The other classes in this package provide help to create good looking
 * data.
