Class Application

java.lang.Object

app.framework.Application

Direct Known Subclasses:

TodoApp

public abstract class Application
extends java.lang.Object

The Application class describes a complete MVC application.

The class takes care of constructing the main application frame and passing it on to subclasses. To create a new MVC application one must therefore extend the Application class and implement the start(JFrame) method:

 public final class MyApp extends Application {
   protected void start(final JFrame frame) {
     frame.getContentPane().add(...);
   }

   public static void main(final String[] args) {
     new MyApp();
   }
 }
