Class ResolveHandlerSorter

org.jfree.layouting.layouter.style.resolver.ResolveHandlerSorter

public final class ResolveHandlerSorter
extends java.lang.Object

Compares two resolve handlers for order. A handler declares its dependencies and therefore requires that all dependent styles have been resolved before trying to compute these properties.

When sorting, we match this modules position against all dependent modules until all positions are stable. Circular references are evil and must be filtered before passing the classes to this sorter.
