Class EntryFromFileCreatorManager

java.lang.Object

net.sf.jabref.imports.EntryFromFileCreatorManager

public final class EntryFromFileCreatorManager
extends java.lang.Object

The class EntryFromFileCreatorManager manages entry creators. The manager knows all existing implementations of the interface EntryFromFileCreator. Given a file, the manager can then provide a creator, which is able to create a Bibtex entry for his file. Knowing all implementations of the interface, the manager also knows the set of all files, of which Bibtex entries can be created. The GUI uses this capability for offering the user only such files, of which entries could actually be created.
