AttributesUtilities added

Jan 26 '07; API spec. version: 1.9; made by: vstejskal

The AttributesUtilities class has been added.

Deprecating FontColorSettings.PROP_FONT_COLORS

Jan 4 '07; API spec. version: 1.8; made by: vstejskal

Deprecating FontColorSettings.PROP_FONT_COLORS. It should have never been made public in the first place. Nobody can listen on this property anyway and the general contract is that settings instances in MimeLookup are immutable and if anything changes the whole instance (e.g. FontColorSettings) is replaced.

OpenIDE-Module-Needs: org.netbeans.api.editor.settings.implementation

Nov 13 '06; API spec. version: 1.7; made by: vstejskal

The module is now autoload and it needs the org.netbeans.api.editor.settings.implementation token. This token is provided by the editor/settings/storage module by default.

Private constructors in FontColorNames and SimpleValueNames

Nov 8 '06; API spec. version: 1.6; made by: vstejskal

The FontColorNames and SimpleValueNames classes used to have a default construtor, even though it had never made sense to create instances of them. The default constructors have been removed and a privat noargs constructor has been added to both of them preventing an accidental instantiation.

Editor Settings API created

Aug 26 '05; API spec. version: 1.2; made by: mroskanin; issues: #59784

Editor Settings API was created. It defines settings classes, which can be looked up via mimelookup.
