Class DesktopBus

java.lang.Object
  siouxsie.desktop.events.DesktopBus

public class DesktopBus
extends java.lang.Object

Main bus for desktop scoped events. The bus receives events from differents sources in the desktop and forwards them to listeners. This centralized implementation of the observer pattern is used instead of using scattered event generators and listeners, which could lead to very messy event path and hard to debug code.

This solution is inspired of the JEdit text editor, where plugins register to an edit bus to receive events.
