- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ISkeleton
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    ZipSkeleton

      public class GenericSkeleton
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements ISkeleton

  Simple generic implementation of the ISkeleton interface. This class implements a skeleton as a list of parts: some are simple text storage string corresponding to the original code of the input document, others are placeholders for the content the the text units, or the values of modifiable properties.

      Specified by:
        `setParent` in interface `ISkeleton`
      Parameters:
        `parent` - reference to the resource that attaches this skeleton object with IResource.setSkeleton()

    - #### copyFields

          protected void copyFields(GenericSkeleton toSkel)

    - #### clone

          public GenericSkeleton clone()

      Clones this GenericSkeleton object. Shallow copy is provided as the cloned skeleton can be coupled with its original via the parent field. After the cloned skeleton is attached to a parent resource which implementation invokes ISkeleton.setParent(), the copy becomes deep as the parent fields are updated with new values thus decoupling the original and the clone.
      Specified by:
        `clone` in interface `ISkeleton`
      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `java.lang.Object`

        a new GenericSkeleton object that is a shallow copy of this object.

    - #### getParent

          public IResource getParent()

      Description copied from interface: `ISkeleton`
      Gets the parent resource of this skeleton.
      Specified by:
        `getParent` in interface `ISkeleton`
      Returns:
        reference to the resource that attaches this skeleton object with IResource.setSkeleton()
