28  * A component interface to control the attributes of the component to which it
29  * belongs. More precisely this interface denotes the component interfaces that
30  * can control component attributes: a component interface whose Java type
31  * is a Java interface that extends this Java interface is indeed considered as
32  * an interface to control the attributes of the component to which it belongs.
33  * Such interfaces <i>must</i> only contain getter and setter methods, such
34  * as <tt>int getX (); void setX (int x)</tt>, <tt>double getSize (); void
35  * setSize (double x)</tt>, and so on. These methods should only be used to
36  * configure "primitive" values such as integers or strings: they must not be
37  * used to configure bindings (this is the role of the {@link BindingController}
38  * interface). For example, they can be used to configure the size of a cache
39  * component, the load factor of a hashtable component, the label or color of a
40  * button component...
