Interface Summary

DockingPath	Implementations of this interface keep the information about one path in a tree structure of Docks and Dockables.
DockingPathModel	This is an interface for a collection of DockingPaths that are used in an application.
DockModel	A dock model represents a collection of docks that are used in an application.
FloatDockFactory	This class creates FloatDocks.

Class Summary

DefaultDockingPath	This is the default implementation for a docking path.
DefaultDockingPathModel	This is an implementation for DockingPathModel that uses a java.util.HashMap.
DefaultDockModel	This is a basic dock model implementation.

FloatDockModel	This dock model adds for every owner window automatically a FloatDock and a FloatExternalizer.

Package com.javadocking.model Description

Contains the functionality for dock models and docking path models.

Information on using dock models and docking path models is in How to Use Dock Models and How to Use Docking Paths in The Sanaware Developer Guide.

The Docks and Dockables of an application are organized in multiple tree structures:

• The deepest docks of every tree are LeafDocks.
• The leaf docks contain the dockables.
• The ancestors of these leaf docks are CompositeDocks.
• The composite docks whose parents are null, are the root docks.

A DockModel contains the current tree structures.

A DockingPath contains the information of one path of such a tree, but this path doesn't have to be the current situation. It can contain the information, where a dockable was docked previously. Or it can contain the information, where a dockable that is currently not visible, has to be docked, when it becomes visible.
