Interface NodeBuilder<NodeSubType extends Node>

All Known Subinterfaces:

ClassificationNodeBuilder, ModuleBuilder

public interface NodeBuilder<NodeSubType extends Node>

Allows building a Node within a Model which can be completed dynamically.

This is a super-interface of ModuleBuilder and ClassificationNodeBuilder.

There are similarities between the functionality provided by this interface and that provided by MutableNode and its sub-interfaces MutableClassificationNode and MutableModule. They both allow new Node's to be created. But MutableNode and its sub-interfaces are related to changing the configuration data for a Model, whereas the new Node's created by this interface remain dynamic and not supported by underlying configuration data.

Maybe these two functionalities could eventually be supported with only one set of interfaces. But for now, they are kept separate.
