Interface MapAppSkin

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMapAppSkin, DesktopSkin, DispatchSkin, HeadlessSkin, TruckSkin

public interface MapAppSkin

The MapAppSkin does two things: it sets up the GUI in setup(), and it shows different parts of the GUI in the showX() functions. The initialization steps are hard to follow. First, MapAppSkin is created. MapAppSkin creates any windows it needs, but it doesn't set itself up. Second, MapApp is created. After MapApp has created its GUI, it calls MapAppSkin.setup(). It got that way because the MapAppSkin and the MapApp both depend on each other. Specifically, in MapApp's initialization, MapApp was asking MapAppSkin for its main window before MapAppSkin had set up its main window. NullPointerExceptions ensued.
