Class Apps3

  apps.AppsBase
      apps.gui3.Apps3

Direct Known Subclasses:

DecoderPro3, MDI, Paned

public abstract class Apps3
extends AppsBase

Base class for GUI3 JMRI applications.

This is a complete re-implementation of the apps.Apps support for JMRI applications.

Each using application provides it's own main() method. See e.g. apps.gui3.demo3.Demo3 for an example.

There are a large number of missing features marked with TODO in comments including code from the earlier implementation.
