Class ModuleFactory

java.lang.Object

org.netbeans.ModuleFactory

public class ModuleFactory
extends Object

Allows creation of custom modules. The factories are searched in the default lookup (org.openide.util.Lookup.getDefault()). If there is one it is used - if there are more of them arbitrary one is used (so please make sure that there is only one present in the installation). If there is none in the default lookup the system will use an instance of this class.
