Class AppUIManager

java.lang.Object
  byucc.jhdl.util.ui.AppUIManager

public class AppUIManager

extends java.lang.Object

This class is used a central repository for properties to be used in an application. There will every only be one AppUIManager in existence, however, since it was built with the idea of groups in mind, it is easy to avoid name clashed by putting properties into the proper group. Thus allowing everyone to use the same AppUIManager.
