public abstract class EditorManager

extends ModelManager

EditorManager is a ModelManager that handles the creation of appropriate Viewer and Editor Views for the properties of model objects for a specific view type. An implementation for JavaBean model objects is provided in BeansEditorManager.

The viewtype passed into this manager is arbitrary and identifies the particular type of View an application is interested in. For example, "swing" or "xml" or "awt". See PropertyEditorFactory.
