Interface Summary

ErrorManager.Annotation	Annotation that can be attached to an error.
Places	Provides access to all basic components ("places") in the IDE.

Places.Nodes	Provides access to important node places.
WizardDescriptor.FinishPanel	A special interface for panels in middle of the iterators path that would like to have the finish button enabled.
WizardDescriptor.Iterator	Iterator on the sequence of panels.
WizardDescriptor.Panel	One wizard panel with a component on it.

Package org.openide Description

Jumping-off points for all the rest of the IDE's functionality.

The TopManager documentation should be consulted for a start on how to access any part of the IDE; it provides all of the standard system objects, and can be used to perform a few top-level actions like exiting, showing dialogs, etc.

TopManager.getDefault().getPlaces() may be used to get a list of interesting locations (nodes and folders in the IDE).

The superclass ServiceType is the basis of the Services API.
