Class ToolsetManager

java.lang.Object
  ides.api.plugin.presentation.ToolsetManager

public class ToolsetManager
extends java.lang.Object

Manager of the Toolsets available to IDES. A plug-in which wants to provide the GUI elements for a specific DESModel perspective, e.g., FSAModel, should register itself for this specific perspective. When the user creates a new model or opens a model, IDES will use the registered Toolset for the model's "main" perspective to obtain the relevant GUI elements.
