Method Summary

JepComponent	getLightWeightInstance() Gets a light-weight instance suitable for using in multiple threads.
void	init(Jep jep) Initialize the component.

Method Detail

init

void init(Jep jep)

Initialize the component. This methods is called whenever a component is added to Jep. Hence it allows components to keep track of the other components they may rely on.

Parameters:

jep - the current Jep instance

getLightWeightInstance

JepComponent getLightWeightInstance()

Gets a light-weight instance suitable for using in multiple threads.

Returns:

either an new instance, or 'this'.
