Method Summary

AlgorithmViewComponent	getComponent(java.lang.Class editableClass) given the class to be edited returns an instantiated algorithm view component to be used for editing the data for that class. if there is no appropriate component then this will return null.
static AlgorithmViewComponentRegistry	getInstance()
void	register(AlgorithmViewComponent component) register an already instantiated algorithm view component.
void	register(java.lang.Class editableClass, java.lang.Class algorithmViewComponentClass) registers the algorithm view component.
