Interface NavigatorLookupPanelsPolicy

public interface NavigatorLookupPanelsPolicy

Interface for SPI clients who want to affect searching mechanism for available NavigatorPanel implementations.

Navigator infrastructure searches for instance of this interface in Utilities.actionsGlobalContext() lookup and then applies found policy on set of available NavigatorPanel implementations.

Note that multiple instances of this interface are not supported in Utilities.actionsGlobalContext() lookup, one instance is chosen randomly in this case.

Common Usage:

Implement this interface, return kind of policy that suits you from getPanelsPolicy()
Put implementation instance into your TopComponent's subclass lookup, see TopComponent.getLookup() for details.
Now when your TopComponent becomes active in the system, found panels policy is used to limit/affect set of available NavigatorPanel implementations.

Since:: 1.6
