Interface GuiProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

BeliefComponent, GoalManagerComponent, ListenerComponent, MapComponent, TradeServiceComponent

public interface GuiProvider

An interface which marks the implementing class as a component with a GUI. Any component which provides a GUI must implement this interface so that its adapters may be discovered at runtime by the Handler. For example, in an implementation called MyGuiProvider with an adapter called MyGuiAdapter1 and MyGuiAdapter2, the code for getHandlerClassNames() might look like this:

 
 @Override
 String[] getAdapterClassNames() {
     return new String[] {
         MyGuiAdapter1.class.getName(),
         MyGuiAdapter2.class.getName()
     };
 }
