Interface IChatGUIFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

SwingGuiFactory, GUIFactory, AppletGUIFactory

public interface IChatGUIFactory

Interface for objects that construct GUI objects. GUI objects are never instantiated directly; they always get created via an instance of this interface and are used through their interfaces. This allows various GUI implementations to be written, plugged in, and used. To create a new GUI, implement all of the interfaces in this package.
