Package net.sf.jguiraffe.gui.app

In this package the main application class can be found.

Application is the start up class of this framework. An instance initializes all required helper classes and constructs the GUI. It also controls the command dispatch thread.

The Application class is fully functional; it can be directly used. If customization is required (e.g. if some of the helper classes are to be replaced) or if command line arguments need to be processed, a custom application class can be derived from this class.

In addition to the central Application class this package contains other classes directly related to Application. There is the ApplicationContext interface which provides access to many helper objects managed by an application. There are also some helper classes that can be used by typical applications, e.g. often required commands or action tasks.
