Interface ImporterUI

public interface ImporterUI

Define importer settings user interface.

Declared in the system as services (i.e. singleton), the role of UI classes is to provide user interface to configure importers and remember last used settings if needed.

To be recognized by the system, implementations must just add the following annotation:

@ServiceProvider(service=ImporterUI.class)
