public class TabFactory
extends DefaultDockableContainerFactory

A factory that replaces DockViews (with title headers) by tabbed panes with a single tab.

This factory provides a unified GUI for single AND tabbed components (with the exception of auto-hide and single-floating that still use the standard title bars).

It is still in an early stage and will be improved in future releases, depending on its adoption.

Since:

2.1.3
