Interface DependencyRelation<T extends DependencyRelation<T>>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of objects that express this type of dependency
    public interface DependencyRelation<T extends DependencyRelation<T>>
    Represents the relation of dependency by allowing implementing classes to specify the set of objects that they directly depend upon. (These objects may in turn depend upon other objects, recursively, so that an object may have both direct and indirect dependencies.)
