Class FormBuilder

java.lang.Object
  de.twenty11.skysail.common.forms.FormBuilder

public abstract class FormBuilder
extends Object

Subclasses have to implement the configure method, which typically looks something like // TODO This is a domain-specific-language style which lets you define a chain of columns. The typical use is to create an anonymous inner class like in this snippet form.setFormBuilder(new FormBuilder(...) {...});. This use case doesn't have to deal with concurrency issues, so no special care is taken to make this class ThreadSafe.
