Resources Management

The API cross references give an immediate access to relevant interfaces and classes.

Resource Factory

A resource factory declares an interface for creating each resource (font, color, style, graphical context). A concrete resource factory such for AWT implements the resources in a specific context.

Here is the reason to deal with resources through abstract factory.

Font

Here is the reason for reifiying family and style.

Color

Here is the reason for reifiying basic colors.

Style

A style is the conjunction of font, foreground and background colors.

Defered Resources

A defered resource allows reference to resources before we want or know how to allocate concrete one like fonts, colors or styles. As soon as the defered resource is loaded, there is no subsequent cost in speed or memory.A resource owner provides indirect access to the resource factory and write accessor to assign the concrete resource.

International Resources

We use the standard java.util.ResourceBundle to manage locale-specific objects, like messages.
