Package com.install4j.api.beans Description

This package contains the base classes for all extension points in install4j as well as special property classes.

See the API overview for general remarks on how to use the install4j API.

The specific interfaces of screens, actions and form components all implement the com.install4j.api.beans.Bean marker interface.

All abstract base classes for screens, actions and form components extend the com.install4j.api.beans.AbstractBean class that offers utility methods for replacing variables in user-configured property values.

This package also includes classes for property types of beans that are specially handled by install4j.
