Interface PatchDescriptor

public interface PatchDescriptor

Classes that implement the PatchDescriptor interface describe how to create patches from objects and apply patches to objects that do not implement the Patchable interface. Using this mechanism, also classes that belong to the core Java API can be upgraded to patchable classes.
