public abstract class MasterDetailsBlock extends Object
The master part is responsible for adding itself as a form part and firing selection events. The details part catches the selection events and tries to load a page registered to handle the selected object(s). The page shows the details of the selected object(s) and allows users to edit them.
Details pages can be registered statically using 'registerPage' or dynamically through the use of 'IDetailsPageProvider' in case where different pages need to be shown for objects of the same type depending on their state.
Subclasses are required to implement abstract methods of this class. Master part must be created and at least one details page should be registered in order to show details of the objects selected in the master part. Tool bar actions can be optionally added to the tool bar manager.
