Resources are a way to specify information of interest to program or
|
||
|
|
packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications use resource files to specify and document the values of
|
||
|
|
quantities or attributes of interest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Resources can be loaded from or saved to resource files. Methods are
|
||
|
|
provided to search, modify and create resources. Packages use resources to
|
||
|
|
hardwire in their code the default values for their attributes, along with
|
||
|
|
documentation for the attibutes themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packages inherit resources when subclassed, and the resource names are
|
||
|
|
updated dynamically to reflect a class hierarchy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Methods are provided for interactive resource inspection and editing.
