Package net.sf.jguiraffe.gui.builder.components

This package defines the part of the builder that deals with components.

The components package defines some classes and interfaces that allow dealing with GUI components in a platform-independent manner. Many of these classes are used internally by the tags sub package for creating, initializing, and connecting concrete GUI widgets. Applications may also make use of these classes. Especially the ComponentBuilderData class can be useful: it allows direct access to all widgets created during a builder operation.
